This doesn't really answer your question directly, but the rule-of-thumb increase in efficiency of a condensing vs. non-condensing gas furnace (or water heater) is about 15% greater efficiency, which is actually a lot, especially considering how good the efficiency of a modern non-condensing furnace already is.
