I just remembered that the soaking tub in the master bath (furthest from heater) has no aerator, and turning the hot water on there delivers hot in about 5 seconds. So I guess we don't really have to wait all that long for hot water in the master if we remember to flush the cold water using the tub.
I specifically choose to put a 2 gpm shower head on because we take long showers and I wanted to reduce hot water use. Removing aerators would go against this goal.

I was thinking this doesn't solve any problem, it simply shifts it. Instead of running the faucet to get hot water, I'll be running the faucet to get cold drinking water. Then I'd be wasting heated water instead of cold water.
