Just had this fitted in my house. 10years old house. My last boiler just gave up. Got this one fitted.
Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
I'll stand to be corrected but my understanding was the basic Logic has the minimum warranty, the Logic Plus has extra warranty, and costs more than the basic one. I believe 7yrs for the Plus. And the recently introduced Logic Max has 10yrs. None of the above requiring to be installed by an 'Ideal Accredited' installer. Whereas the Vogue Max needs to be installed by an 'Accredited' installer to get the 12 yr warranty.
All Max boilers come with their own, brass magnetic filter.

The installer said this was the best for my house set up. Didn't reliase how Sod poor they were untill I read the review online after fitment
No matter what warranty you think you're getting you are never going to convince the manufacturers that after years and years of running your boiler is suffering from a manufacturing fault that has taken several years to manifest itself.......... all down to luck; if they pay out at any stage you're lucky but if you are like the rest of humanity they won't pay out or accept any liability whatsoever even ten days after the install - the warranty offer is simply a sales pitch with very little substance.
As a "mature" 😉 home owner who has picked up a bit along the way over many years and had a little bit of experience with rudimentary plumbing and heating one way and another .. it's really frustrating to see so many totally opposing views coming from installers and customers alike. Not just here, but everywhere.
I've said it before but whether it's a Vaillant, Worcester, Baxi, Ideal, or Intergas .. there's absolutely no concensus or agreement. Each of those makes are either a heap of tat or have been fitted for the past ten years and never given a scrap of trouble.
We're told that it's all down to the quality of the instal, but then we're told that the Ideal Logic sumps leak due a design fault. Or that this or that boiler has rubber hoses or plastic bits and bobs that are bound to fail. Or that the HEX has such narrow waterways that it's only a matter of time until they clog.
The previous post assures me that any of the warranties are worthless, but elsewhere I'm told to get whatever boiler has the longest warranty. If that's not a case of conflicting opinions then I don't know what is.
Or that Vaillant/Ideal/Worcester/Intergas Customer Service stinks or that Vaillant (etc etc) Customer Service is the best ever.
I've been told not to concern myself and just have one fitted - which is one way of looking at it - but on the other hand I do actually favour (and quite enjoy) doing a bit of research to see if I can get an item that offers the best chance of getting good, reliable service from.
I bought a rowing machine recently and did a bit of online research and it was screamingly obvious that there was only one machine that everyone who knew about these things considered was the best you could buy - it's the one you see at all the gyms and is used by the national rowing team (but I don't think they're likely to head-hunt me just yet). Therefore buying a decent rowing machine was the easiest thing in the world. And having bought it - it is, indeed, the dogs danglies.
I know full well I'm not going to get a definitive answer - coz there isn't one - but I'm always keen to see what others have to say based on their experience and I value the time they give to sites like this one.
