That's a point-of-use issue. Nothing to do with tankless.

Dear Rich -
No matter what we say - you are not going to be impressed. That fellow
told you he saves 75% on his tankless gas water heater - but your mind
is made up. We don't want to argue with you - if you don't agree - don't
buy one. But we have studied this to the point of purchasing them. My
neighbor put two in just a few months ago - and loves them. You seem to
just want to argue. I do not like evangelists that try to convince folks
to do something pro or con - especially when they have nothing but a
cranky opinion - but no data to back it up. On top of all that - my
city likes them so much - they are willing to give me $900 in rebates
just to install them. As much as I value your opinion - please present
information showing that tankless heaters aren't as good as tank types.
I am willing to listen to other information - my mind is not closed -
but it must be more than someone just arguing for argument's sake.
Thanks for caring about us so much to try to convince us not to make a
mistake.
Harry
