My HVAC guy has given me a few replacement options, which range from IBC and NTI on the lower end of the price spectrum, to Viessmann, on the higher end of the price spectrum. I'm familiar with the Viessman brand and know it's one of the best out there, but the price is commensurate with that. I've never heard of IBC or NTI, but those options would be about 40% less expensive. The HVAC guy states that they are good "middle of the road" options. I don't want to cheap out, but I don't want to overpay, (like any major purchase).

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with these 3 brands, especially the IBC or NTI?

Thanks!
Go with Viessmann unless you want to do it again in another ten years.
