Well this is now out in the UK. I will be ordering it for my Highgate job so will take plenty pictures. The reason I will use it is because the house has had tens of thousands spent on it and I don't fancy chucking out 3-4 buckets of slc in her en suite.
 
Have seen adverts for this, looks like a great product, use ditra all the time, only thing unsure about,
Scluter say must be min 3mm slc between ditra and heating element, but this is in the membrane which I'm assuming is same make up as ditra
 
It must be different as it doesnt come on 30m rolls. Panels or 12.5m lengths.

edit.... 12.5 rolls lol

Used Ditra Heat-E for the first time last week. Tiling 600x600x15mm limestone onto old wooden floorboards, in a small bathroom 1.8 sq m floor area, using 1.6 sq m cable kit.

First bonus was the provision of a form of Ditra mat to lay cable onto - Schluter said it was ok to (fully secure floor boards first) prime, 6mm spread of rsf, mat, cable and tile straight on top.

It is incredibly convenient way of installing ufh, but also very expensive (twice the expected price - good old Schluter, reassuringly expensive). I would personally recommend it for even DIY installation it is so easy, you can install the cables extremely accurately as quick as matting, and no self leveller needed.

Finally, I got caught out by the high resistance reading of the small length of cable - over 200 ohms, it went off scale of my resistance meter, and I thought cable was defective (oops). Discovered my mistake after a few phone calls. 😳
