Re: [VAL] Water Heater



Hi. I have decided to change out the water heater too. $383.94 for SW6DE and 
$448.34 for SW10DE out the door 8.25% sales tax incl. for these two Suburban 
Dual Fuel Gas Electric Electronic Ignition with Flush Mount Doors, 6 and 10 
gallon states a faster recovery when both fuels simultaneously turned - on 
gains 6gpm recovery with both having 12,000 BTU burner.

So question: Is the $64.40 dollars difference worth it for the extra 4 
gallons. Sale ends tomorrow. Gotta buy one or the other. Both about same 
depth. Opening size and space does not matter for this application. I pulled 
a Attwood Bowen 10 gal which is same as the Suburban 10 gal size. Sale is 
real and I can't get near the price, checked at least 13 others, not ebay.

I would really value opinions. Tom P opposed to 10 gal. Says just more water 
to have to heat up. Please offer your opinions. I always thought bigger 
maybe is better, that's why have a 40 or 50 (whatever I put) in my home. 
Please?
