The Baxi Platinum is basicaly the same boiler as the Baxi Duotec/ Megaflo boilers, just more expensive to cover the extended warranty. The Baxi 105e and it's sister boilers 105e instant 80e & 80e instant where very good boilers as they where in fact the old Alpha Ocean boilers rebadged so had been around for some time before Baxi adopted them and even improved on them. Baxi had to adopt them quick as the previous combi range the Baxi Bahama was a total disaster for them and I do not think any one will defend that particular boiler. It's your money however and the best bit of advice I can give you is that what ever boiler you choose, I would suggest it's a band A boiler with a stainless steel heat exchanger, cast aluminium heat exchangers will be attacked by the acidic condensate and will have a much shorter life span than stainless steel. The better the quality of stainless steel the longer the life span of the boilers heat exchanger. Do the research now and save a lot of money in the future.

The bg guy said that by using the 15mm with a new boiler it would null our guarantee though as i say the brochure specs say 15mm
