A tank type water heater can usually be replaced within a day or less by almost any plumber. I don't think the advantages will be worth the cost, if there are any measurable advantages.

Price both types out for the size you need. To replace the size we had, after rebates the tankless was cheaper. Mike Scott plumbing installed ours. Fills our enormous double tub without running out of water.
