I may not be popular for my wifely intervention, but I'm ON IT.
I think it will be worth it. Just find one that has a good height, promise to help clean up, and get some of the stuff that solidifies the water in the trap to prevent spills. It's going to be cold this weekend, might as well get a project going!

I will likely be adding a heated seat this winter, too many pipes and holes in the floor that lead to cement bunker for the waterworks leads to a FREEZING seat to use at night or early morning! I spotted one at HD last year online for around $60. Hopefully I can find one online for sale this holiday season. NICE FIND bassJAM
if your talking about the Mansfield EcoQuantam then I definitely agree it's a good strong flusher! It has a Sloan pressure assist tank in it which is a top of the line system. After a couple of years I had something go wrong with mine so I called Sloan and the said they'd just send me everything that could do wrong with their parts under the five year warranty so now I have spare parts. And he said it had a five year tank warranty and then extended it another two years from the time of the call in. A good company indeed! When I worked in maintenance at a large school district, tje Rosemount Apple Valley, Eagan MN district I was at Apple Vally HS and they had 26 5 gallon tank toilets. Kind of odd since most commercial buildings will use a Sloan or Sloan type flush valve. I proposed to change out every toilet with Amrican Standard carrier mounted 1.6 gallon toilets using the Sloan pressurized tank. The district bought all 26 of them and I and my helper had them all installed in a matter of a few week. That has to be a huge water saver considering that there is around 2400 students and staff in the building every school day.

Just installed the Toto Drake and so far very pleased with the improvement over our old toilet.
Kids, don't do this at home:
My son will probably exceed this test, but its good to know.

How long do you have to season the fuel? cat toilet or tube toilet? secondaries? "split" size? How often do you reload?
\\ I'm here all week, folks. Tip your barkeep.

Dang BG. Does as good as my three new $99 two speed ones from Lowe's. 
PS: Septic guy is pumping tomorrow. Right?

Ya mean it takes 3 toilets to pass this mass of paper?
I have to assume that was done on a city septic system Otherwise call out the pumpers.

At your suggestion I got one at ADA height. My wife thanks you. She loves the taller toilet and she's a little gal.
We have a celebrity plumber in our area, Terry Love, that has a pretty good reference on toilets for those that want comparisons. Note that the prices shown are list price. No one pays list price I hope.

Not to push this thread closer to the dumper, but some are heading in the other direction. To wit: (broken link removed to http://squattypotty.com/squatty-pottys/)
Naturally, the amazon reviews are a hoot http://www.amazon.com/Squatty-Potty®-Ecco-Toilet-Stool/product-reviews/B007BISCT0
Yeah when I was shopping I looked at Terry's site. Decided to try one of the Lowe's ones based on the rave reviews and went back the next week and got two more.
Consumer Reports actually rated the Lowe's house brand things over a lot of the megabucks ones.
I bought the $99 1.6 gallon one first. When I went to get the other two the boxes looked beat up so I bought the 1.0/1.6 two speeders. Impressive crappers.

Yeah. I have taken dumps in Asia and was raised in the country. I'll pass on squatting. Pun intended.
