You get extra capacity with the 16Kva(80amp).The supply is better quality in rural areas esp.(regards voltage drop).I would get it anyway if possible.

The enhanced supply costs an extra €600 in a standard connection. Its not going to do you any harm but the normal 12kva supply would most likely do you.
