Because sales person will tell you what you want to hear - they need to sell. I`m not asking to sell/supply me a boiler. I`m here to discuss potential boiler choices.

You know, there is nothing I get more pleasure from than when I have a chance to learn something new from someone who has spent a day or so researching the subject on the internet?
My mere 3 decades of experience shrink to nothing compared with the titanic knowledge of the internet warrior. And my fellow forumites - those gas-safe registered engineers, business owners, college lecturers, and other geniunely knowledgeable people? I beg you be silent before the mighty wisdom of the forum tard.
Jesus H Christ.

Maybe, bear with me, I do oil, may be clutching at straws, but, and only maybe but. System boiler and unvented cylinder.
For gawds sake, its a one bedroom flat. Two people, tell them you will kill them if they open a tap when you are in the shower.
Ever heard the phrase 'anal retentive' ?

My opinion is you are worrying too much about the small things.
You are looking at figures why not speak to family and friends and see what boilers they have go and stand next to them and you will see that you will not hear them unless you are listening out for them.
On an 28kw combi there is a maximum flow rate that all manufacturers can get out using 28kw worth of gas and most manufacturers have got the most they can get on hot water rates this will still not be enough to run 2 taps at the se time without a temperature change.
You are on about the power consumption whilst idle and whilst running, instead of looking at things like that look at the cost of parts and the time it takes to change the parts, if 1 boiler saves you £100 in electric over 10 years but the parts are more expensive or harder to fit then it will lose you the money that you have saved.
To me the what anybody should be looking at is reliability, manufacturers aftercare and warranty. As you could find the perfect boiler that meets all your specifications and with a long warranty but if it goes wrong you could be without a boiler for a week instead of a day etc.
It does seem that you are being penny sensible but pound stupid.

didnt the OP say it needs to fit into a kitchen cupboard? this will limit many boiler choices and the option of recovery unit.
the baxi plat is a very loud boiler, the WB CDI classic is really quite imo. I guess it depends on the environment its tested in, most washing machines will be louder unless you get one of these
as your having a shower when the boilers making a loud noise and it will be on low for the UFH noise should not be a great concern
