About 8 years ago in large part due to Terry's awesome site, I bought an Ultramax II for my hall bath. I don't recall the exact model but it has the old "sanigloss" finish and is a 1.28 gallon flush. I'm getting around to redoing the master bath now and need to make a choice on a new Toto.
The Ultramax II has been pretty great, but it is somewhat loud and is expensive compared to the newer Entrada and Drake models. It seems the newer Drake 776 is the budget friendly Toto choice lately, and is the way I'm leaning. Water usage is not terribly important to me, though I'd like to stay at 1.28 per flush if possible. I'd also like to have the ability to add a washlet later.
Can anyone comment on the relative noise level between the 3? I'm also not seeing on the Toto website a 2021 Drake model number for one which is washlet ready (but doesn't include the washlet). I know I need the seat that covers the washlet plumbing hole until I make that jump. Oh, and I assume none of the Entradas are washlet ready?
