Any thoughts? Pros? Cons?

Tankless, not even close ... The main pro, for me, is not having to deal with the awful water heater tank issues I've had in my past 2 homes & having to remove old ones & install new ones in each. Considering they were both located in the attic of each house, with attic door & ladder being in the hallway ceilings, one that was 12ft. high, and both with openings barely wide enough to get a tank through, installation was a BITCH, and God forbid they leak or completely rupture - frickin nightmare.

My new home has tankless, and it is so awesome. Pressure is great, water heats in just a few seconds (gas), & I'm completely worry & stress free about going through the awful crap I did with my previous 2 tanks. Honestly, I can't think of one reason why anyone building a home would not go with tankless.

I can't imagine traditional tanks will even be put in any new home construction within the next couple of years. They should be a thing of the past, imo, done away with for good. ... I hate them, especially in attics (dumbest idea since popcorn ceilings). ... Tankless all the way!!!
