I was just asking a plumber the same question a few weeks ago (we built in 2007).

Fwiw he said it still doesn't make sense for most people once you factor in the required maintenance, and that with our hard water in southern Alberta his experience is that the tankless models tend not to last all that well. Plus, the additional up front cost and the wait for hot water on long runs.
