Called a local plumbing supply today and got the Canadian prices for the 50 gal 100000btu vertex (~$2400) and the 34gal 100000btu Polaris (~$2500). I was surprised that the Polaris is only $100 more because it has a stainless tank. The vertex has a 6 year tank and a 6 year parts warranty and the Polaris has a 10 year tank but only a 1 year parts warranty. Hmmmm. Lots to ponder.

I read in another post that someone got one of these supplied and installed for $2000! Good deal.
