Default WM vs. Munchkin and load question


Looking for opinions on choosing between a
Munchkin (nee Peerless Pinnacle) vs. Weil Mcclean Ultra...

Reputable contractor is offering either for a standard
residential hydronic hot air solution at the same price.
(yes i've seen pictures, got quotes, he did a j book thing, load analysis,
and im not posting to the hvac pro groups)

I've already evaluated the quote and vendors, im looking
for opinions "if it were your home" on which one you'd
get given all else is equal (including price).

also, Im looking at th 199K munchkin unit.
The WM offers 150 (barely matches, but ok) or 230K.
The load is about 165. Someday i may put an addition on
the home. Is there any inherent problem or inefficiency
in using the variable 0-230K WM when the current load
is 170K.

Thanks alot
pete
