Need a new toilet. What is the best choice?

We've tested the new toilet a few times and it's doing what toilets are supposed to do. Bowl is clean, no scrubbing and everything goes away with one flush.

Besides hating the previous toilet, I also hated the tile that I had installed. It was free from a house that I built and had wanted to use a neutral tile. At the time, it wasn't such a problem, but over the last couple of years, it's really started to look worse and worse to me.

I also wanted to do floor tile without spacers for the grout. I haven't seen this on floor tile before, and nobody that I've worked for has wanted to try it either. Steph liked the idea of small grout lines, so that's all I needed to hear.

The tiles are 18 inches and I installed them touching each other. I then used non sanded grout, that I sealed this morning. You can still see the wet areas in the grout from the sealer, but that's fading away.

Butting up tiles leaving a very small grout line is common with tiles like granite, marble, etc. The corners chip easy so you keep them close together. I butted up some ceramic tile I put on a countertop. Trying to make it as smooth as possible. We still used sanded grout. I had a bad expierence with non sanded grout in a tub surround once. It dries a lot quicker and was very hard to get off the tiles. I had to use a razor on the tiles! Not fun!
