first thanks for such a great forum!

I'm replacing a toilet at a small cabin.
Trying to decide between these two.

my questions are:

Overall, which is the better flush GMax 1.6 or Double Cyclone 1.6?
does one splash the seat more than the other?
which is noisier and by how much?
does the Maple Seat fit on the elongated Drake (it gets cold in NH!)

Thanks!

The Double Cyclone only comes in 1.28 gallons now.
It works fine.

does one splash the seat more than the other?
Toto toilets don't splash.

which is noisier and by how much?
They are both fairly quiet.

does the Maple Seat fit on the elongated Drake (it gets cold in NH!)
The elongated seat will fit any elongated bowl.

wow! that was fast Terry. I'm impressed.

so just to clearify the Soiree at 1.28 flushes as good or better than the Drake at 1.6?

I have the Gwyneth/Ultramax II which has the double cyclone bowl wash and is 1.28 gpf. Flushes great. Highly recommended.
