I see on closer inspection that in many/most cases it is the hose itself which goes into the mount, not the handset itself. And the hose ends vary. If I were to buy both of the above, I'd have two handsets and two hoses and I'm sure between them I can make things work! Hopefully they'll all work though, leaving me with some spares for the future.
I think what threw me was one of the other mixers I was looking at:

I kept thinking how different the handset end of the hose looked on that, and couldn't figure how it would be compatible. Until I finally realised that the muppet who put it together for the photo has put the hose on the wrong way round! Then it made sense! Or at least I think that's the case, or else I'll be the bigger muppet!
I know that in the rail kit I wouldn't need the wall outlet piece, but aside from that? They are saying they'll have different fittings from each other. And then went on to say that because the slider rail sits high on the wall, there won't be enough pressure from the tap as when hand held. That doesn't make sense to me either, unless you're sitting in the bath when showering!!!
