Main Heating or Megaflo cylinder

I'm having a new unvented system installed. The engineer has quoted for a Main Heating cylinder but listed additional an optional additional cost for Megaflo (approximately £700).

Is it worth going with the Megaflo for the extra £700?

    What's the subtle difference between a Megaflo and the other unvented system tank that justifies another £700.

    It might have slightly better insulation but that would probably only save you £25-£50 a year (just a guess) - even if it saved you £100 it would take 7 years to pay back.


    Can't actually see any benefit and £700 seems like an awful lot of money - try checking on-line pricing to see if it's justified
