I am considering the wireless system to control lights/lamps etc via a r/c. Im also looking into the MK Aspect system, which is hard wired. House is being rewired so does not have all wireless. Aspect is therefore cheaper as not RF. Does anyone have any experience of the two systems, ie, either better than the other?

Relying on a licence free non regulated radio system to control something you may later rely on in emergency is not in my opinion a good idea.
It is NOT impossible that at some time you nieghbours install a radio based system that affects your lights.
You may need to keep a torch handy to be able to find the remote control to turn on the lights to find the remote control for the TV
With a switch on the wall you can always find it fairly quickly by feel in the dark or in a room filled with smoke.

wireless does not equal remote control..
there are wireless systems on the market that fix to a wall like regular switches, the advantage is that you don't have wires down the wall..
good for places like a bathroom or bedside switches without having to rip up floors and chase into walls..

I guess, the GET & MK are way over my budget unfortunately. Homeserve is more reasonable but in no way really cheap, but hopefully will do the job for my modest house!
Ive experienced being in a fire unfortunately and the electrics all went in no time at all, therefore the switch didnt really come into it!
