Here's my situation. I've got 3 toilets I'd like to replace - 2 Briggs that are likely 20 years old and a now-leaky American Standard Champion. 2 of my 3 bathrooms have a 12 inch rough in. The third bathroom has what appears to be a 10 inch rough in - slightly under 10 inches from baseboard to closet bolts or slightly over 10 inches from drywall to the closet bolts.
To add to the complexity, my existing porcelain in the bathrooms is biscuit, which is an off white. I exploring toilets, I find that I can locate 12 inch rough in toilets in biscuit, but 10 inch is either not available for double the cost. Any thoughts on how I can solve this conundrum?
Edit: I had a nice discussion with a Toto rep on the phone. She advised that they make a 12 inch to 10 inch adapter, but it will only work with certain models. One model that it does work with is the Vespin, which looks very similar to the Drake. Thus, I could buy two Drakes and a Vespin with the adapter to achieve a uniform look throughout the house.
Any thoughts on those adapters? Of course, my concern would be that they would serve as a secondary potential source of leaks.
