We did the same and went for the French Connection ones.
TBH in total it still felt like a lot of £s, with with our first kid on the way at that point dropping loads on something that would be absolutely battered for the next 5yrs didn't make sense.Plus it seemed incredibly hard to find sofas we liked. Let alone >£3k liked.
Other than the feet looking a bit cheap close up, I'm still really pleased with them a couple of years on. Very comfortable.
We did a lot of looking for sofas, there are loads of really ugly ones out there. Ended up with some DFS ones as nothing was ideal and I'd rather spend £700 on something not perfect rather than £3.5k.
