If you form a c-corp to buy another c-corp for less than the book value of the target's assets then I'd think there would be no gain and it's then worth it to do a "g" unilaterally so that you can depreciate the purchase price for the next 15 years (at least that's my understanding). I'm curious to hear the story of others whether they used g or h 10 election and what the end result was.

I have had many CPA firms take the seller into an extensive tax analysis at huge cost just to point out at the end that someone has to pick up the tax burden.
As I said, I am not a tax expert. Would welcome corrections to my answer.
