Offhand, I would say too high. BUT how much work is involved ?
When going from gas to gas, its a simple half hour project. I don't
know what the work would be going from Electric to Gas, never done
that. I would assume the plumbing is simple, the only part I can't know
about is installing the venting. Is that a complicated install ? going
through upstairs floor ? or just a simple hole in the ceiling and roof
with a pipe ?
In So. Cal. one of the best things I did was move the water heater
from inside the house to outside and built a shed around it, super easy
to change now. But in WI it might get too cold in winter for that to be
reasonable, a lot of heat would be lost.
Not enough information to know for sure.

A gun is like a parachute, if you need one but don't have it,
you'll probably never need one again.
