Help me buy a toilet

I absolutely hate and despise plumbing. It is a very messy process and great way to blow a bunch of cash. If you do it yourself, it is time consuming as well.
Today's mess: I need to buy a toilet. I have found that it is desirable to have a elongated and higher up toilet. After that I can spend $120 to $1200+.
WTF is the difference??? They're big white flower pots. There are literally no moving parts other than the rubber valve, flusher, and pull mechanism, all available for a grand total of $25 at Lowes.
I understand it costs a bit more to get a higher efficiency toilet, elongated, taller. Okay so there's $20 more of white flower pot material.
Where does the rest of this money go? Why should I spend over $200???

Get a belly of spicy crawfish and cheap beer the night before, go shopping for one first thing the next morning, take it for a test drive.

In my experience there's a big difference between the $99 ones they put in crappy apartments and a $200-250 one. I don't see any reason to spend much more than that for most people though.

That scene in Jackass has to be up there for one of the best reality skits.

If on slab, a simple job.

I agree with Toto or Gerber. Go visit a Coburn’s, Southern Pipe, or LCR and they’ll all help you out.

Get an old 1980s or older unit made before the nanny state started dictating how we need to live.

Oh I got a handle on that one, thanks boss. Last week in greater mobile I tried to out-pizza the hut if you know what I mean. I have some innate testing abilities and can unleash them at any time.
Before monkey pox it was a bit of a hobby of mine. Now you never know what's growing on those seats. Gotta keep it at home if you can.

Where did you hear that a "higher up" toilet is good? When I am sitting, I like my feet to be flat on the floor so that there is little or no pressure on my legs.
Now, if you are say, 6'-2" or taller..... the 17 inch tall toilets may be what you like. I am shorter, and the 15" tall feel fine for me.
The "soft close" lid feature and power flush are nice.
