Heating with oil was starting to get really expensive.  I was going to put and inside wood stove in but didn't want the mess. I even thought of installing a pellet stove but that too was expensive.  The OWF was my best option.   The initial expense (i.e. stove and install) was recouped in two years.  So now I heat my 3000 sq ft home and 500 sq ft garage  for $75.00/year which includes all permits to cut and the gas and oil for my saw.  I have an additional $3k+ in my pocket.  For me the switch was an easy decision to make.

 Trint, yes I believe it is the same stove you mentioned. I was sent pics of the unit and has thick refractory brick on bottom and part way up the sides. The local dealer also said they removed the water tubes from the grate area, but I only have pics at this time - no literature and I still have not seen anything on p+m's website. It also changed to 4 legs instead of full sides to pad. I kind of like the full side look. Hope to see it at our local farm show in march. Supposed to be 5/6 companies there.

Farm shows are the best way to  look at different boilers, bought mine at the Farm Science Review here and save $1,000 with the show special.
