However, I'm faced with the question "Why would anyone
conceivably
*want*
to
replace a conventional boiler with a combi?"

What a stupid question!! The advantages of combi boilers are well
known.

As are the disadvantages, such as the poor results when the
available
water flow is poor.

As with any mains fed system.

And when the available water flow is good, the advantages fly.

Provided that the boiler is large enough for the application.

Of course, that is stating the obvious. Why would you have one too
small?
Do you buy a motor bike to transport a family around? No. You buy a 4/5
seater car.

It is, but it is surprising how many people have 9lpm combis and 9lpm
water supplies and are disappointed.

Because they shouldn't go to plumbers. They are useless. They should go to
heating engineers, who will know the market and what is available.

It is amazing how any people are delighted with correctly sized combi's.
