Sorry I am being thick here.. are you saying if I get a new one with

No, what I mean is that a 40K burner will take longer to recover than a 55K
burner, but that everything else being equal (ie same EF), they will use the
same amount of energy.

the lower recovery burner 40K or even 34K BTU aree all about producing
a cheaper tank.

More expensive high BTU tanks like my PRO model have a higher purchase
price, but tend to have better materials, like brass drain valves,

your bewtter off with a higher BTU tank
