Eternal Replacement

This Eternal water heater just died. It does both radiant heating via a Taco X-Pump Block and DHW and I'm looking for a replacement.
Rinnai has an RL75 water heater, but the warranty is void on a closed loop system. Any suggestions?

I presume this is exterior mounted?
Can you use a regular combi boiler and build a bit of an enclosure around it to protect from weather?
I like the IBC Superflow/ DC boiler0 -
@kcopp Yes, exterior.
IBC boiler: Reduced DHW production (3.2 gph for the IBC, 4.3 gph for the Rinnai), removing the X-Pump Block HX to install a 1°-2° piping system, 10 year warranty.
Rinnai water heater: Better DHW production, plug-and-play, no warranty.
The choice is .....................mine.8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

@Alan(CaliforniaRadiant)Forbes The SFC199 will give you 5.0 gpm. same heat out put as the SFC 125... no need for the x-block.1
