Kurt,
  I installed a Seisco RA-28 last November and no problems to date. It 
presently only produces water for one tenant and speaking with him on 
a usual basis he is still happy with it. The adjustment knob is not 
accessible without removing the cover and the way the cover attaches 
it does not seem that it was designed to be removed very often. 
Testing with my amp meter (3 minute intervals) it seemed to pull a 
solid 25-27 KW regardless of adjustment knob position. At that sort 
of consumption it would not seem that there could be much benefit for 
a small family (6-7 KW a shower-youch!). Like other manu's 
recommendations of using the high output unit for regions with cooler 
winters the RA-28 was the only option for my region. Certainly eats 
up a lot of breakers spaces but the tradeoff is that it frees up a 
lot of space and weight in the water heater closet. I don't recall a 
whole lot of other specifics other than that I thought the manual was 
quite "weak".

Have fun,
