Daikin, yes they produce good units, but so do other people. Maybe someone will correct me, but i heard that Fujitsu took the lead in Australia being the most expensive brand, but used this as a tool along the lines of "you get what you pay for". Daikin decided to invade the Australian market and under-cut the Fujitsu price to compete. The effect was that they were seen as an average brand behind Fujitsu, yet in the UK the roles are reversed.
Is it not a case of what you are used to fitting is best (as you are used to it's layout; operation etc?)
Daikin in the UK are very good at marketing their products and leading people into thinking they are cutting edge, when other manufacturers have already done things that they later us and market for themselves?
