I considered that. Since I don't know the cost per therm of each source
I stuck with energy use not cost. You are right however and that should be
considered as well. I hinted at that with my initial comment "I might have
put the temp of the gas a little higher than the electric to avoid having
the electric kick in under normal conditions."

He did a GOOD THING!

If capacity is still a issue up the temp of the gas tank back to
150 degrees, then install a tempering valve ..

That will increase energy use and decrease the life of the
heater.
