Default New Viv Advice Needed

My parter is giving me £250 to spend on a BD viv/set up for xmas, ideally i'm looking for a 4ft viv with a cabinet underneath for all my food n cleaning materials. ive seen the vivexotic range for £160.
Firstly, are there any others on the market which look/do the same job but cheaper?
Secondly,is £90 enough for all the lights, thermostats, fittings, etc.. if i go for a vivexotic?

Below is a link for the basic set up which i'm looking for (i presume this is ok)

Thanks in advance

agreed, with a location im sure you will be able to find a viv builder near you who will offer you a much better price. or alternatively just build your own. can be done for around 50-70 quid

would need to be a similar colour to the tobacco walnut that vivexotic do as well

failing that...
buy a good condition second hand set-up that you simply "plug-in and go"
will save all the hard work + the animal can go in straight away
