Indirect Water Heater replacment

I'm about to have my SuperStor indirect water heater replaced. It is old, is leaking a bit at and doesn't supply enough hot water to fill our large bathtub. Plumber I am working with is recommending HTC SSU 60. I have an older (Maybe 13 years old) Weil McLain Gold Oil boiler. Boiler services steam heat and one small forced hot water zone as well as the water heater. I've looked on line but didn't see much in the way of reviews so I thought I'd ask the experts. Is this a good choice? What questions should I be asking? Basically, I don't know what I don't know. Thanks!

How long did the superstore last before it started leaking?
What is your water supply quality like?Hydronics inspired homeowner with self-designed high efficiency low temperature baseboard system and professionally installed mod-con boiler with indirect DHW. My system design thread: http://forum.heatinghelp.com/discussion/154385

I have almost the exact setup that you do with the SSU60. I am very pleased with it. My boiler is a similar vintage. The recovery rate is excellent and it holds the temperature very well. Not cheap but I feel that it will last a long time.0
