I have a 2000 sq ft house with two 80 gal water heaters. The size of the water heater only has a slight impact on standby losses. I keep them at 120 so the standby losses are minimal. The main cost of heating water is raising the temperature from input to output, or delta T. I am on Time of Day pricing and have them running only off peak so I always pay 1/2 price for the electricity. I never run out of hot water during the day and, being on a private well, I have a reserve of 160 gals of potable water in the event of a power outage.
HP Water heaters have been around for decades. A leading mfr is right here in Wisconsin - Thermastor. They have the advantage of dehumidifying the surrounding air although they will cool down that area as well.
