Default To replace older combi boiler?

Our non condensing combi boiler (Worcester Bosch 28CDi) is about 12
years old. It gets serviced annually and hasn't given too much trouble
over the years. On its last service a couple of months ago, the engineer
said that although there were no problems, it was getting on and perhaps
it wouldn't last more than another couple of years.

The engineer wasn't pressurising us to buy a new boiler and I figured
that we would wait until the boiler needed replacing before doing
something about it but I was speaking to my son the other day and he
works for Heatrae Sadia who are part of the Baxi group and he can get a
very good discount on Baxi products. Coincidentally, Baxi was the
preferred boiler of choice for my engineer and the 10 year warranty
seems good.

So now I am weighing up the pro's and con's of replacing my existing
boiler before it actually needs it. If I wait until the old boiler packs
up, my son might have moved jobs and the discount would be gone. We
might not be in a good position financially at that time either.

What sort of savings would I make with a new efficient condensing boiler
over my older non condensing one?

Cheers,
