 Not an OWf owner but have heated with hot water for nearly 40 years, (pre-gasification) the last 30 with a Jetstream with 1,000 gallons of storage.  I live on Northern Vancouver island, which gives you a long shoulder type heating season with very little serious winter type heating weather.
The success that I have had has others interested but for insurance reasons, these people are looking to the OWB but I really do not have much understanding as to what would make Optimizer 250 function successfully in this environment.

I'm not sure what your question is about the Opt 250, it is a downdraft gasser and should not be oversized, it is very good on a heat load of 2000 - 5000 square feet, I prefer it to be on the higher end of that load and use a backup heater when load requires it, If you would like I will PM you my contact info and I'll be happy to discuss it with you!
