[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 333456, member: 843"] Went down the rabbit hole of research on this topic for new build few month back. As others have mentioned it depends on intended use. If you have a smaller family with a set shower schedule then it could work out. Capacity/flow rate is what you have to look at, and DONT just do a quick glance at the specs and flow rate. There should be a chart that factors in the input water temperature. A unit that advertises 12GPM with 70F input water temperature can not do 12GPM if it has to start with 50F water temp. Ultimately the only way it would have seemed to work out without any sacrifices is to have 2-3 units throughout the house and that is more $$ upfront, more maintenance, more install.... Went with the big gas unit. [/QUOTE]
