STOP DAWDLING.
It's a perfectly normal heating system. If you're looking at every aspect of the house in this much detail, you're doomed.
If the system isn't already fully pumped then spend your money on changing it to fully pumped. Your hot water will recover in the time it takes someone to bath, towel down and preen their hair!
We have a similar system in our house (built circa year 2000), but ours has a thermostat fitted externally on the front of the hot water cylinder. The boiler takes about half or three quarters of an hour to heat a full tank of hot water from cold. Ours is a 4 bed house and the combined electric & gas bills are about £100/month (and we don't like a cold house, and we use tumble dryers/dishwashers etc).
The Scottish Gas guys who service the boiler annually all say if it aint broke then leave it alone. They add that I'd save a bit, maybe a tenner/month, by updating the boiler. Hope this gives a bit of perspective.

Saving a tenner a month by upgrading the boiler takes a lot of months to pay back the initial outlay. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
