So, is this installed in the cold water line?  Our master bath is a
long way from the primary water heater, and it takes a while for warm
water to make its way up.  But I'd have to plumb the tank outlet into
the regular hot water supply or take 4 minute showers.  Or plumb it
with a hot water supply...

It makes an incredible difference and my wife considers it one of the best improvements I have made to our house in years. I am inclined to agree with her.  The 7 gallon version has to be hard-wired to a dedicated circuit, but the 2.5 and 4 gallon versions can be plugged in.  One of those should meet your needs pretty easily.  Here is a link to the Bosch units, although I am sure other brands will work just as well.
