Oil Combi boiler or unvented cylinder?

I currently have a combi boiler but its age is starting to show and is becoming unreliable.
A heating engineer has suggested removing the hot water side of the existing combi boiler, leaving it only to deal with the heating, and having an indirect unvented cylinder fitted for our hot water.
A new combi boiler before fitting would be £2000, the unvented cylinder before fitting around £460.
Whilst it sounds great financially.....does anyone have any thoughts, pros, cons, or have themselves done this?
Thanks.

If the boiler is on it's way out, you may end up replacing it anyway. For the money you could poss get boiler fixed properly. If you on any kind of benefit look into getting a free boiler.0
