I’m working on a 2019 Tiffen Allegro RED. Retail $325,000.00 and it has exposed water supply to toilet. Just finished working on a $90,000.00 Grand Designs Solitude....YUP exposed toilet supply line.

My reason for pointing this out is that they ALL USE the same components, and the way they are made, makes it very difficult to “hide” some plumbing during construction without significant time taken. If the factory was to spend say $2.00 on EACH unit, times how ever many they produce each day, plus pay the labor to install said cover, you can see where the price point changes. IMO The industry as a whole does what they can to build a product that is acceptable to a majority of the market. It’s your choice NOT TO purchase based on any number of things that you may not like.

JMO, but I would find something much more important to gripe about...
