Default hot water system

Hi,

We are moving our hot water system around (which includes a 1yr old
remeha boiler, storage tank, and central heating) as part of a kitchen
refit, and have had several plumbers in to look at it. They seem to be
split 50/50 between "replacing it with a new combi boiler, so saving on
pipework and tank space" and "setting the same system up in the new
locations".

I don't seem to be able to get a clear idea of the pros and cons of
each, and am hoping that someone here can help.

As I see it, the main difference is that, although the combi boiler is
smaller/less space, it will only feed one hot water outlet at a time (so
using two showers at once would be a problem).

Is it possible to get a combi that can deal with two hot water outlets
at a time? From my limited research, the only ones I can find are the
size of a washing machine!

The house is a 4 floor, narrow victorian townhouse - 8 rooms, 6
radiators and 2 towel rails.

Thanks,

Miles
