I'll let you know, we're getting an Rinnai water system and new high efficiency furnace (and electronic air filter, and humidifier) installed as I type.

The tankless systems - or the one we're getting - I believe has temp controls on it so you don't get the fires of hell heat fredr mentions. Our unit has 6 burners and depending on the load at the time it will fire off more burners as required to keep a constant temp. One thing our installer recommended is keeping the old water heater tank as a reservoir

Europe has indeed had on demand water heaters forever. Frequently they have a little heater for each bathroom/area which services just that zone.
