Got to keep you boys on your toes somehow

So what it seems to boil down to is there's no technical reasoning, its simply that open vented cylinder aren't as well insulated because they're built to sell at a lower price.

If I could find a decent local installer (which was afterall the original intention of this thread) then I might actually make a decision

why don't you write to all the cylinder makers and ask them for detailed reports and get them to argue amongst themselves too. . . . .

Ehr,no. Good try. No they're meant as replacements for older cylinders of the same type and for installs where an unvented isn't suitable or desired or simply as part of a traditional set for luddites that don't want a combi.

Horses for courses and all that.

Not everyone is obsessed with heat loss and efficiency

I've got a vented cylinder with the factory foam on it... and one and a half of those red jackets on top, because I had them from the previous cylinder when it started to leak.

with climaflex on all the pipes in there, the airing cupboard is as warm as an eskimo's snout.

?????? why don't you just wrap it in cotton wool and be done with it?

I went one better and filled the cupboard with polystrene granules.

Thats until it started leaking!
