its all swings and roundabouts
they both have their unique advantages and disadvantages.
Combi boilers always have hot water, conventional only if there is hot water in the tank,
combi boilers use alot more gas, conventional alot more electric,
combis are more space efficient,
personally, myself as i have kids, i could not imagine having a conventional boiler, as i would have to wait an hour to have a bath after the kids have had theirs. I could have a shower yes, but my bath helps my knee alot :p
so yes, its a bit like the diesel/petrol debate
