I'll tell you one NOT to buy: KOHLER K-3386-0 Rialto One-Piece Round-Front Toilet.
I bought two of them at Home Depot (my last purchase ever at a big-box store) seven years ago. They were very expensive but are, by far, the worst toilets ever. I wish I'd read the reviews on Amazon before buying them.
Any opinions on Gerber toilets in the $250 range? The plumber recommended it. ?? Definitely want the chair height model; I plan on getting older. Also, any opinions on the American Standard Cadet ??

Do a google search for TERRY LOVE FORUMS. They have a forum for toilets.
His forums are great. This is where I discoverd Toto products.

This was recommended by both a realtor and a plumber - so I bought one - so far so good (about 6 mos).
I had 3 to get - my one regret is that I bought 1 elongated and 2 rounds - hate the elongated version. With the water saving features it look really stupid with this little bit of water at the bottom of this rather large commode.

Terry Love is a professional plumber.
I discovered Toto the same way. Terry Love is the Godfather of toilets. His forum is full of profesional pulumers if you want the real scoop.
One thing I forgot to mention earlier about Toto is the soft close lid. When you drop the lid, it has a shock action that allows the lid to close in about 20 seconds, which makes for a soft lqnding. No more lid slamming when the kids and the old man drop the lid.. Great feature..

Terry, like all plumbers doesn't want callbacks because of poor products. Therefore, he preaches TOTO all day long.
The soft close lid is a nice feature. A standard lid from HD will work, but the dimensions and color might be off a bit. The TOTO lid is a perfect match and worth the extra $$.
I'm thinking now about my time last year researching toilets. Just like the OP, I though it would be an easy decision on what to buy. Once I finally decided on a TOTO, I went to my TOTO dealer and they had 25 toilets on display
I'm thinking seriously now about cancelling the $250 Gerber, and getting the A/Std Champion instead. Don't know why my plumber suggested the Gerber. Choosing a reasonably priced reliable toilet seems to be a "cr**pshoot".

The Kohler from Lowes I mentioned early on came with (no additional charge) their soft close lid. Works well.

Also I have never had to double flush it.
