I just got down going over my radiation charts for the 10th time. The building has 486 square feet of radiation and it has a 486 Weil McLain boiler rated for about 2000 square feet. I find it hard some days to wrap my mind around needing a SGO5 and having a 486. I was called in as this boiler just had a nice new 601 burner installed, lowest fire rate for this burner is 700,000 b.t.u.'s It was set up for a 780 and they thought they were putting the burner on a 488. The fun begins.
Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.
