difference is I am saving $200 on the installation because of the
rebate. No-brainer to me!

Um, as someone else posted, installation should involve very little
time. An hour if no major re-piping is needed, two if it is. Even
with expensive plumber rates, total installation cost should be
under the $200. If you're paying a lot more than that, the rebate
is worthless.

If the issue is disposal of the old heater, it's worth seeing what
your community's/trash hauler's policies are. If you can just put
it out on the curb for them to haul off, it's not worth paying
extra for that service.
