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.
Usually the longer warranty ones have a second anode in them. But yes, the same. Mine has a 6 year warranty. Install the second anode, and the warranty doubles.
