Got 3 kids and seem to have tried quite a few pushchairs!
Currently got a maxi cosi mura 3 for my 7 week old and its great! Can hold my daughters hand and push it one handed without flying all over the place!
I would never pay £700 for a travel system purely because 99% of the time they get replaced by a stroller within a year!

got all the mama and papas stuff ourselves, pram, car seat and isofix base,
like the isofix as its easier with the car seat. soem car seats like the gracia ? ones seemed really cheap and flimsy to me.
in fact I had to have an isofix base for the car seat to go in the imprezza. don't ask how/why, but the car seat wouldn't go in without it. probably due to length of belts.
must admit pram was good, converting from proper pram- laid down and asleep, to buggy that holds the car seat, to now a pushchair now she can sit up.
we were lucky, my wife's uncle works for M & P so we got everything for virtually nothing to "test it"
in hindsight, I'd prefer a pram with much bigger wheels- ours has 4 little ones. its no good on tracks/trails, rough surfaces. that'll be next purchase I think.
nb- wait till you drive home from hospital with yr little one.
it'll be the most nervous journey of yr life !!!!!!!

scary.
As for most if the larger travel systems they are almost always replaced by a stroller within 6/7 months. The fun if the two tonne travel system wears off (mostly for mum) when you have to start lugging it about alone.
A good stroller from birth is sometimes a good idea, and a space saver.
