Hi,
About two years ago, I had all 3 toilets in a house we purchased, replaced with Toto Drake IIs, based solely on Terry's recommendation from the consumer toilet report page. Easily the best $1400 I spent on the house at the time, and very glad I found Terry's site to dissuade me from my original plan of putting in AS Champions. An overdue thank you to him.
We recently sold this house and are looking at going with new construction for our next one. To that end, I like them so much, I want to get another set of Drake IIs to have the builder install and just save the hassle of having it done later.
I noticed, however, that Toto now sells two different models of the Drake II - the original 1.28gpf version I have, and a 1gpf version. Searching on here to try and educate myself, this thread seemed to outline the differences best:

Is there anything beyond this nice synopsis I should be aware of for differences? My impression is that the original CST454CEFG is perhaps still the better choice, all things being equal. Is that a fair conclusion?
Also, I noticed that the spec sheet for the CST454CEFG lists the bowl as being part # C454CUFG, but I guess this is expected because the two models share this - the difference is really in the tanks used? There's no difference between the two bowls, or?
Thanks for the help, and again for the great site and helping me make my original purchase decision.
