Boiler Replacement

in THE MAIN WALL
I am looking to have my old boiler replaced (an old coal burning boiler that was converted to natural gas) and am looking for some general comments on the boilers that are available today. The system currently in my house uses cast iron radiators. I've been researching at quite a few boilers and noticed they typically range in efficiency from low 80 to low 90 percent. Are there any benefits to installing one of the high efficiency condensing units vs. the lower efficiency units. Would I even realize a 90+ percent efficiency in a high temperature system? What manufacturers have a track record of quality and dependability? The only requirements I have for the boiler is that it be direct vent and draw its combustion air from outside. Thanks for any help.

    Viessmann Vitodens 200

    is a great boiler for this type of system. Castiron radiators aren't realy a high temp system. The boiler is
    94.2% AFUE and Viessmann is a boiler company 2nd to none when it comes to quality, reliabilaty, and service freindly!
    Along with all of it comes a high price tag, but is well worth it in the long run!!
