and I don't mean the wretch you took home from a nightclub last Friday night!

Two bathrooms - both have showers and I'd like to get a good flow rate. All gas and water pipes are new in 22mm so supply no issue. I'm toying with either standard combi OR one of these hot water storage ones:

Anyone owned or fitted one of the above and got any words of wisdom?

Will only ever have another combi if there's a space issue.

Pressurised, unvented system with a large HW cylinder - only way to go. I've only ever had one combi, never, ever again!

Just because you have 22m pipe doesnt mean a unvented system will be the one for you. The pressure may be fantastic but the flow may be poor. You need proper advive from a plumber. The incoming flow and pressure needs to be measured, and then suitable systems discussed.

This. Do as much research as possible and find a reputable installer, there are many out there who will recommend a combi, they aren't really suitable for more than 1 bathroom.
