I guess for a flat you will stick with combi when replacing otherwise if adding a storage tank I was thinking towel rail can come on even in summer when water heats say 2x per day or on own timer.
We have thermal store and wood/solar and a towel rail is only 'rad' we have. Comes on when tank is up to temp.
Lateral thoughts include drying towels outside bathroom and opening window in summer when heating off – is there a window?
My main reservation with electric towel rail would be if it was left on all the time (only a light bulb as manufacturers say! – 1.4kW.h/day), don't imagine any stat would cut out with only 60W input.
