OP- If you could buy a gold lame suit cheaper than a grey or navy one, would you turn up to functions looking like Liberace? Get the right one for the job.

An indirect is fine.
You can use a longer immersion with no coil. Most places have direct cheaper, try a different supplier.
A 36" element in a 42" cylinder, for example, will foul on the modern coils before you can do it up. Try it for yourself. Even with a giant cylinder you'd need 2 immersions so a direct model would still be better.
Actually not a bad idea to do anyway. I once replaced a leaking direct cylinder with an indirect one so in the future it would be easy to heat via a boiler. The house did not have Central heating at the time. Of course I had to transfer the long immersion heating element into it and that as usual was no problem at all. If in doubt simply check the cylinder specification
Mod 14, suggesting a direct cyl used neither abusive or unhelpful. The analogy is meant as a joke. The last post you deleted had the OP abusive because I suggested he was not competent to diy gas.
