Ill be wondering how much difference will be in between their medical grade strips and audio strips.
Audio grade uses RFI 10A mains filter which I am not big fan of as I think this sort of filters compress dynamics. Perhaps to use only with the source, dac but not for the amplifier.
Anyway, good to look at this option

Looks impressive.
All my power cables are UK, and I was always thinking to get rid of them, and replace with Schuko version. Only to run UK power cable from the wall socket to Schuko power distributor block, and then use Schuko cables to each device.
Schuko plugs do not have a fuses like UK plugs. I do not see much point of using additional fuse if your equipment has already a fuse in the power inlet socket.
I agree. When I moved to Ireland I replaced the extensions plug with UK standard ones, but I kept all my Schuko terminated power cables for the main hifi devices. In this case it is useful to have a quick way to identify the correct power phase (live wire), hence the red dots that you see in the second picture.
Best

Here’s a video from Richie of Kronos Audio explaining how Titan do their thing. I don’t have that particular block as I felt what I had was good enough. Sadly they’ve ceased production of all their earlier more affordable blocks and cables including my own Helios block. The Ares block featured in the video is the only ‘budget’ block they do now. Also I’m not exactly jumping over the moon with its double sided design and tiny footprint. That’s another reason why I’m not too bothered. Anyway enjoy the video.

I am using Titan Audio as well and agree totally with your analysis. I don't like the new configuration of their mains blocks at all! Maybe just impove some of the cables along the way.

Nice to know!
Also, it seems, after having a quick look on their site, that, in the power cable section, there are some affordable cables after all in the shape of the Helios mains and Signature variants.

This is a bit off topic but discussion seems to have moved from distribution blocks to cables ...
I started to build this cable but can't remember why I stopped ..
