Look at the cost of the tankless vs a traditional tank.
I replaced a water heater earlier this year. I fully was prepared and wanting a tankless until I priced them out.
The tankless was multiple times the price of a tanked heater. No way to recoup that cost in a timely fashion.

Understandable, but as with anything, how long you plan to be in the house, cost of replacement, etc.
My friend had two 50 gal tanks on each end of the house. The difference was minimal. Plus, I believe you can claim tax credits on the tankless.

Same thing here. My 50gal tank water heater costs about $5-7/mo of NG to heat water. A tankless costs about $1500 more than a tank heater here. There is no payback in my situation. My family is also happy with 1.5gpm and 2.0gpm shower heads so we never run out of hot water anyway. The only benefit I'd see with tankless is that I'd free up some space in the basement.
