OP here!

Wow, you guys really hate macerating toilets! I've definitely been dissuaded from using one in our future bathroom.

Initially, I was interested in them because they sounded so economical (fewer installation costs, less ripping up of stuff in our old house with plaster walls), but a smelly bathroom and lots of plumbing issues aren't something I can live with.

We'll definitely be consulting a plumber and/or architect to see what we can do about adding another bathroom with regular plumbing, though.

maddux: incinolets sound scarier than macerating toilets!

Siobhan: we're actually buying in the Cleveland area, but most of your observations about Bostonites apply here.

Thanks for your great comments, everyone!
