New boiler

in THE MAIN WALL
I am getting ready to purchase a new boiler, and I've narrowed it down to a weil-mclain ultra-80 and a peerless pinnacle-80. Any advice to help me lean one way or the other here? The peerless is a little less expensive, and that is really why I'm writing. Does anyone know why it's less?

    I believe

    Dont quote me, but the 80 Ultra offers a outdor-reset control with the package.

    80

    As said, the outdoor reset is an option on the Peerless but standard on the Ultra. The Ultra has a 5:1 turndown ratio while the Peerless is less than 3:1 unless it's the wallhung and then it is 4:1. The Peerless has a stainless steel HX where the Ultra has a cast aluminum HX.

    The Ultra is shipped with a Taco circ, I don't think that the Peerless is shipped with a circ (maybe $80 diff. FWIW).

    I never liked the Ultras when they first came out but now I think it is my top choice for a new boiler for my home.
