Danze D560144T Sirius Two Handle 1/2-Inch Thermostatic Shower Valve Trim Kit, Valve Not Included, Chrome

I have been searching for a shower set for my master bathroom. All the brands looks so nice in the pictures and I have no idea where to start. I went to a local showroom and the sales person put together a list of items based on my need. The brand quoted was Hansgrohe and I got a list of all the parts I need to complete the shower system, and it was super expensive. It was around $1400 for thermostatic system with rainshower head and a hand-held shower.I did more researches on Amazon and found out that Amazon is a lot cheaper but also learned that majority of the parts are made out of plastic coated with chrome, except the handles and valves (i.e. their thermostatic trim back plate, the largest part of the trim, is made out of plastic). That changed my search to other brands as I don't think it's right to cheap out on the parts when i have to spend $1000+I found Danze brand on Amazon and like the style a lot. I am not sure how the parts for this brand work (every brand is different in grouping a system) and I spent 1 week to study their materials and how the valves work. Here is the list for my set and hopefully it would help others to set up theirs:- D560144T (thermostatic trim, 2 controls for temp and volume)- D151000BT (thermostatic valve, to work behind D560144T)- D560944T (diverter trim, to divert between rain shower & hand-held shower)-> A, B, or A+B- D130000BT (diverter valve, to work behind D560944T)- D460059 (rain shower head)- D481144 (15" rain shower bar)- D469058 (wall outlet for shower hose)- D465007 (hand-held shower & bar)All these 8 items total to be around $725-------------I just received all of these components today and I was pleasantly surprised that 99% of the parts are made out of metals and they feel very sturdy and heavy. The only areas that I see plastic are 1) the small area where the hand-held shower nozzle is at and 2) the little round end cap on the hand-held shower. All the wall plate are made out of metal and the finish is fantastic.Right before I placed the order, I was debating if I should add 4 body sprays. Since I will be almost impossible to add them later (different valves are used, so I would have to take out the whole thing if I were to add the sprays later), I debated for 1 day and decided to go with no spray (about $350 difference).For those of you interested in sprays, here is the list, from my research: (rain shower + hand-held + sprays)- D562044T (thermostatic trim, single control)- D155000BT (thermostatic valve)- D560944T (volume control trim, need 3 total, 1 for each component)- D135300BT (volume control valve, need 3 total)- D460244 (body spray, quantity depending on personal preference)- shower head, hand-held, outlet and arm are the sameIn this config, there will be 4 trims total and volume for each component can be controlled individually (A, B, C, A+B, A+C, B+C or A+B+C)I hope this will help those that are choosing a shower system. I will update actual using experience and pictures when my construction is completed in couple weeks.
