Do some research. Mr. Buick-and -Deere is right-on, 100% correct. There is no gain unless you've got a distance problem. It takes very little energy to keep a tank of water warm - and tank heaters are cheaper and easier to put in. Every use a Thermos bottle? How much heat does that use to stay warm?
Now, if you have a remote bathroom somewhere, 50-100 feet from the tank heater - then you will gain some efficiency by using a spot heater at that one site.
Most of what you hear is pure hype - including the testimony from Paul Harvey. The instant heaters are overly expensive to buy, and difficult to intall. They need big wires - or big gas pipes.
One other problem also - with instant heaters. If you preheat any of your water with solar - or a wood stove - the instant heaters turn on anyway and waste a log of energy. That is, unless you buy a special version that costs 20% more than the normal overpriced units.
