My plumber told me the extra you pay for a long-warranted water heater basically pays for their insurance against their own failures. Those heaters don't have better parts or thicker insulation. So a unit with a 6-year warranty is mechanically no better than one with a 10-year warranty.
Doubtless that is so, but the plumber's price for the 10-year warranty was just $100 over the price for a 6-year one, so I figured, what the heck: four cases of beer.
