A little birdy tells me that from Nov 1st all Logic + and Independent + boilers will be back to 7 year warranty.
 
Ideal Logic + 30kw £655 + VAT. Flue is free if you join their club.

Ideal Independent + 30kw is £619, + VAT including flue and clock.

Both now on 7 yrs warranty, if my informant is correct.
 
You would think they would want to keep a noticeable difference between models.
In the home owners eyes the only difference is the price and slightly different appearance.

I think they are suffering from the Baxi counter attack.

Most of the volume that Ideal picked up last year was at the expense of Baxi during the great GA debacle. Now Baxi have counter-attacked with their Duotec HE A 7 year, Ideal are starting to lose some of that volume back. With the best will in the world, the Vogue is too new, and too expensive, to take on the Baxi, hence the repositioning of the Logic + warranty.
 
Not much difference price wise with the Worcester Junior really then, cheers.
 
Ideal is a better boiler to service as you wash down hex, the jig is easier to fit , however ideal flues as made of gold leaf; soo thin so easy to cut. I likes me duotec but I likes me logic +
Baxi 40 much better DHW than ideal 35. Baxi more responsive to DHW demand. Logic small enough to fit in pocket. But Baxi give better redemption at moment so it's duo duo tec !!! 70% Baxi 20% valiant and 10% logic +

No, there is just the one. Until the GA came out it was just called "Duotec". We sometimes call it the "Mark 1 Duotec to distinguish it from the truly dreadful GA version.

Yep. Avoid anything from Baxi with the letters "GA" in the model name like the plague.
