Why continue with a second rate system when he can have a high
flowrate combi.

Because:
a) A 'high flow rate' combi still won't fu]ill a bath as fast as a stored
system
b) It relies on on the mains being able to deliver a high flow rate - which
may or may not be the case.

Leaflets stuffed in with my last water bill contained a warning
about installing combi's associated with this last point.
Check that the pressure and flowrate available are _well_ over
the combi's minimum, to allow for future pressure reductions.
I assume the water companies are getting a stream of complaints
about not enough flowrate to operate combi's properly, as they
are steadily reducing the water pressure to get the leak figures
down and avoid being fined.
