Yeah that's all fair.
One of the main appeals is the 'low maintenance' and durability it claims. I might just be a sucker I guess...but placed the order.
Probably already too late to lay it based on the weather but keen for something for the summer and trying not to delay it anymore!
Will hopefully be planting more of the rest of the garden up too.

Ours isn't a specific "species rich", but we've got clover, buttercups and daisy. It looks nice in between cuts this time of year when you cut it medium-long. However, if you've got kids I'd suggest buying something specifically hard wearing.
We have shitloads of bees. None of them bother with the lawn, they collect from the flowers. Personally I'm sceptical that you can have a cut lawn that kids play on which will do much for bees. If that's your priority, get flowers in your beds - poppy, chives, roses, forgetmenots, all see a tonne of action in our garden.
(Obviously if you just like the look of a species rich law, then go for it)
