I have installed many a Burnham boiler and never had a single problem. I,on the other hand,put in 1 WM and it sprang a leak in 2 months. I guess they all have some lemons!!
If it ain't broke don't fix it!!

I dislike Burnhams, myself. Prefer WM. Specifically, the WM Ultra. Great boiler. Expensive but, hey, why not?

My beef with WM is they bought a boiler company in China early this year. You know those cheap Chinese casting are gonna find their way here to save money. I say buy American.

put in nothing but burnhams. NEVER a problem. have repaired or replaced far too many WM's with leaking plastic section seals.

Replaced a lot of Burnhams that have been leaking. Changed out one WM so far. Funny how all these companies say "It's the hard water." I still find plenty of old, I mean OLD, American Standard boilers out there that are as solid as when they were first installed. Must have been a "special" iron back then.
