On connevans.co.uk i think I saw them for around 600 gbp both, so around 300 each. Non edu versions.

Yup, was right. Price you mention looks more like that for the edu receivers.
Edit:
@Cologne
Oh, and in Germany, sites don’t mention which type they sell, but it’s around 600 eur each. However, price for select and select iN are roughly similar. Don’t ask me why. Don’t tell them
And Roger pen iN you cannot buy in Germany because they are not importing it. My audi called phonak and checked this. In front of me. Reason given: Germany isn’t big enough market. And pen 1.1 is roughly 800-900 eur. Add to that 2x 600 eur receivers (2000 eur), and you’re better off buying select iN and regular pen 1.1 (also around 2000 eur), since select iN already comes with 2 receivers and you get two mics for different situations.
Of course if you buy only select iN and then pen in uk/ebay, it will work.
However on this uk site select and select iN prices differ for roughly 600 gbp, eg price for two non edu receivers, so iN is around 1500 gbp.
However pen they have, based on description is first generation, not second (pen 1.1 is the one you want).
User RogerPM mentioned somewhere that better range for pen/select iN is due to the marvels hardware not that much due to the pen, so I’d say you’re fine with regular pen 1.1.
Plus it doesn’t make sense to pay for the receivers twice (in select iN and pen iN) because you need only two of them for 2 has, not 4 of them. Each gadget comes with 2 receivers.
If you buy in uk/ebay roger x receivers, they can be transferred into marvels using some device that your audi should be able to obtain from phonak. That is assuming that audi will want to cooperate
Edit2: on the topic of separate mic and sound, one wired solution is to put mic+audio splitter at the output of the phone, direct mic output to the wired mic (headphones with mic should work as well, they just won’t receive sound), and direct sound output to the roger select/pen ordinary audio input (micro usb to audio cable) who will then wirelessly transmit sound to the HAs. That way you effectively stream audio, whichever it is, while having separate mic. However, wired mic in this case.
My case which I’ve tested is more complicated since it I wear only one HA (right), and I didn’t want to rely on bad ear only, but wanted to hear in both ears. So, one HA (right) and headphones with mic (left earpiece only) using homemade splitter to accomplish sending mic signal only to headphone and not select, while sending audio to the both (I won’t bother you with tech details, unless you want it). Worked perfectly, tested both indoors and outdoors (sitting on a bench with various noise nearby).
But it really is a ‘contraption’
And yes, I’m currently looking at testing two HAs (will start next week), one reason being not neededing that insane contraption but maybe only simpler one. Another is to benefit from programs that utilise 2 HAs like speech in 360 and similar. We’ll see.
Your solution should be less juggling since you need equal sound source into both ear eg through HAs.
Also, if you want almost completely wireless solutions eg that your mic is also wireless and not wired, you might look at the BT device to plugin into that mic only hole and catch that signal with BT mic. But I don’t have experience with that part, so I can’t tell how it works.
Edit3: maaaaybe bt mic to the phone and marvels bt switched to audio only and not calls & audio. But I haven’t tested if they’ll work that way for ordinary and/or voip calls (I use WhatsApp calls, but forgot to test this yet). I mean, one way to test is to see if they’ll catch audio while you use phone mic as mic.
My trialling is focused on figuring out what exactly is wrong with my ear and how to set up HA to help me, and at what degree. Current suspect is that I either dead regions in cohlea at low frequencies or damaged nerve, so increasing the volume creates distortion and lowers comprehension, which is even harder to fit than already hard low frequency hearing loss itself. I might know more when I have more time to focus on gadget’s features and not on survivability only
