Does anyone have a duel fuel OWB?  What do you have and how do you like it?

I have a dual fuel natural gas Central Boiler 5648.  I really like the option of being able to burn gas only, use a clean start, or run it on backup.  My old inside boiler was shot so I spent the extra money for the gas burner in the OWB.  What's nice is that you never have to worry about carbon monoxide or leaks since it's out away from the house.  I wish it was more efficient but I can't imagine how you could do much more with it.  The burner itself is efficient but inside that big boiler takes awhile to heat all the water.
