American Standard Champion 4 vs Champion pro

[CCP]

Can someone tell me the differences between an American Standard Champion 4 purchased at a big box store versus a Champion pro bought at our plumbing supply store? I am trying to decide if it is worth the premium price from the plumbing supply store (mainly from a functionality standpoint). I know I will get better support etc from the plumbing supply store.

Thanks!

People have indicated that those purchased at big box stores tend to have more defects. A pro can't afford the time and hassle to have to return one, a homeowner may not realize it is not perfect, but if he does, is more willing to return the toilet. IMHO, that's one reason why their price is lower...partly volume, but partly less stringent quality control. Can't back that up with facts, only hearsay.

I prefer the Cadet Pro or Cadet 3 over the Champion.
They work well and are easier to dial in for performance.

Thanks for the responses.
