Why only Vokera. There are better boilers out there.Do a bit of research.
The Linea HE or Unica HE may fit your requirements.Both models have a 28kW output. A flow rate of 12 litres/min @35c rise.

The Linea HE is discontinued now, replaced by the Linea One. 38KW 15+l/m @ 35 deg rise.
It is 129,000 btu/hr but modulates 10:1 so down to 3.8KW. (Heating limited to 30kW) If you must have 90,000/100,000btu's/hr you'd be looking at the 28 or 32KW Unica HE
Linea One has hot water memory, external temp sensor as standard though you can control the unit with an ordinary timer and stat if you prefer. Quite a few other features that might tempt you or just pass you by. Unica more of a standard unit but quite powerful enough.
Vokera's website is now up too date with the Linea One details so if that's what interests you ring the office and they'll send you the latest details and pass you over to one of the approved Affinity scheme installers in your area.
Oh yes, 5 year warranty on Linea, 2 year on Unica.

there getting their money worth out of you then vulcancontinental 
must say the 10:1 modulation range did catch my eye, so had a little look
the internal layout looks badly thought out and having a 15mm gas inlet on a 38kw would sends out the wrong message...

I did state I wasn't impartial and the OP did ask so I answered. I don't often come on this forum so was able to help
You'd have to be a little more specific about your reservations with the layout, I might agree or be able to allay your concerns.
As for the gas supply - to MI is what's required; it works and a pro knows what to do to get an adequate supply to the appliance and to apply the appliance to the job properly. I do have likes and dislikes on boilers but the older I get and the more aged installs I see the more importance I place on the man who puts the job in.
And you're absolutely correct; they get their money worth out of me

The Linea One is the best boiler on the market - in that size & range, we are now fitting 100's & they've not missed a beat.

Oh!! There speaks the voice of someone that only fits Worcester Tupperware Bosch...............
Vokera are great wee boilers, we've been fitting them since the 80's.
Like all combis, you'll have divertor valve problems, but not much else with a Vokera.

Get real son, you'll only be fitting about two a year of these overpriced/overrated piles of sh.te. We.re in business to make money, not fan.y around. We fit what people can afford & make lots of money at it. Vokera boilers are graet if fitted correctly.
great, the return of Dick Puller. The last couple of months have been a complete troll fest on this forum, they're all coming out the woodwork.
Funny though, Vokera. Joke of a company. Used to make some decent boilers years back, not any more. Joker. Must be on a wind up or stupid. either or.

Thanks to all who replied,very informative. I joined this forum specifically for this question.
The problem,as with all choices in all manner of things, there are pros and cons. You can see how difficult it is for us lay-men when you proffesionals can have a ding dong of an argument over which is best.
My advisor only told me the requirements and was reluctant to sugest a make. However when I finnaly did squeze a name from him Vokera was his choice,so now we are here!
From a buyers point of view the old adage "buy cheap buy twice" allways works, but as a consummer I have also got to try and get best value.
So again thanks
