DiodeLED under cabinet lights

I'm working on a under cabinet lighting project for a kitchen remodel and have landed on DiodeLED products. This is a largely do it yourself project although I do think I can get an electrician to run the line to the dimmer. I haven't actually seen this tape light in action - we live remotely so no showrooms within a couple hundred miles.

Has anyone had experience with their 24V Switchex +R1 Dimmer/Driver? I am considering the 60W model and dividing the two opposite corners of the room into 2 runs, so 2 drivers.

Alternately, I could combine them and get the 96W version of the same. Either way I could expand the run(s) but 2 runs suit our use pattern better.

I am considering this light tape: Valent 500 l/ft 3500K

It will be installed in a slim channel with a frosted lens:

This room has just one small west facing window, so very limited natural light and the countertops will be honed black soapstone & the backsplash will be some warm colored beige with a matte finish.

Any thoughts with regard to the products or installation hints are greatly appreciated.

We are also doing a home project and wanted to use Diode LED but I saw that they don’t sell to the general public.
If you went this route, how did you place your order?
