Interesting that the argument you make for a tankless (which is valid for you) is one I might have made against... It's like everything, it all depends on setup and location factors, I guess..

In my previous house (way bigger than current) we went tankless but it was on the side of the gas meter (to avoid drilling for a gas line under the house) and it took *forever* to push enough hot water to the bathrooms on the opposite side and both floors of the house... Also on the new home (new tank) I like the idea of a tank for a reserve of hot water when power goes out (which it does way more)... The main advantage for us with tankless was peace of mind - our old water tank was upstairs, a risky proposition if it ever failed... Finally, with gas up 90% this year, ouch -not sure if tank or tankless are worse in gas consumption, but I'm going electric next time ! Done with Gas, it's too geopolitical ! Only thing I'll leave on gas is my trifuel generator, since gas doesn't gum up the carb !
