I think before I plunk down any amount of $$ I'm going to confirm that the mixing valve is indeed NOT the source of the problem.
Thanks to everybody who as chimed in here.
BTW-As far as usage goes, it is just me in the house full-time right now, but I plan on having visitors and maybe even a "special someone" some day.

I beg to differ on the oil fired indirect tank. Oil futures does not look good.
The best way to find out what is the most efficient way to heat your home and hot water is request an energy audit from PSNH. It will be the best $100 you ever spent! My gf 3,000 sq ft lake home uses less than $3000 in propane a year, including hot water, dryer, kitchen stove and propane fireplace!
