Knight floor model or wall hung

My current Knight floor model is about 17 years old or so and I like to plan ahead. What's your preference between floor and wall hung models? Ease of maintenance etc. The wall hung unit is a little less expensive but that would most likely get eaten up by building a stand to mount it on. I don't have wall space. I appreciate your thoughts.

    A major repipe, but you do have room on the wall for the boiler and zone piping. You have a lot of ups and downs in that piping.

    If simple and easy is the goal, replace it with the near identical unit.

    If it was well cared for it could last 3, 5 or more years.

    Does it run high temperature? The vent looks discolored? Or is it CPVC?

    Simple and easy is the goal. Yes, hi temp with fintube. Also well taken care of so I'm not in a huge rush. Thanks.
