Since I have gone this route (4 years ago), I guess I should chime in. Gas is not available where I live, so the unit I have is electric (as was the previous tanked unit that was there when I moved in). The unit is an EEMAX 10KW (or is it 9.5KW) size, and works great, as long a the bathroom has a low-flow (2gpm or lower) shower head installed. It only cost me $175 - comparable to a "standard" tanked unit. It is smaller in length and width than a shoe box, and only 1/3 the thickness. You do need to upgrade the wiring and circuit breaker that feed it to 40 amp capable. Considering how much others said they have paid to go tankless, I'm going to have to give it the BIG thumbs-up!
P.S. If you need higher flow, they make a thermostatically controlled unit ($200, if I recall correctly) that is installed after (downstream from) the first unit.
