My thoughts don't concern cost,wants, or needs. But more on the advantages of a tankless heater vs. a typical DSI LP/electric heater.
In the end I see no advantage of having a tankless. My 10 gallon heater delivers all the hot water I need, no fuss no muss. No LP needed when at a electric site. Maybe if I were running out of hot I'd consider something different but the 10 gallon heater keeps up with my family's use without issue. I simply would not benefit from the tankless.
