some suggestions please on switches

[Tazz]

I have a beech effect kitchen with shiny black worktops and splashbacks to match ( I know I know scratchs, polishing etc <sigh>)
I am looking to install black switches but have come across a minor dilemma in that I am unsure whether to chose gloss or matt or flat.
The ones I am looking at are:

or

I have no idea what astra247 are like to deal with or if there is better out there but this is what I have found so far.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

trust me, you don't want black sockets on a black backsplash.. looks rubish..

you want nice chrome or brushed stainless..

Brushed will be more practical in a kitchen, as the polished chrome will show up every trace of grease - you will be polishing them every day.

If you want the flat plate types, you will need 35mm backboxes.
