Ticks a lot of boxes, the bulb is integrated into the unit so it might be a fiddle to find replacements if that time ever comes. I've tended to stick with gu10 as the bulbs are easily available and the technology is improving all the time. Is your ceiling void really that shallow?
I've installed a lot of click flame guard, the click fitting for connection speeds up installation/testing. I can see with a bulb they would end up being more expensive than your option though.

At the moment the most popular downlighters are mains powered GU10 leds and the easiest dimmer to fit is varilight v-pro. The v-pro has several modes and you can adjust the low and high point. You can buy them as a separate module and retro fit them in your existing dimmer switches to save a little money.
You also need to check the height of the ceiling space as there is no real standard size for downlighters. Downlight.co.uk is a good source for quality units, avoid B&Q etc they will just make your job harder.
