We are choosing a new bathtub for our shower/tub combo and are going between the Kohler Underscore and the Kohler Bancroft. It will be placed about 17” to the left of the toilet. My husband does not take baths, but I plan to MAYBE once a month (not too often).

Does anyone have experience with either of these? From the research I’ve done, the prices are similar and the interior basin dimensions are similar.

Underscore:

What I like about Underscore:

The clean sleek look

Lower step over height of 19” with still a soaking depth of 15.5 inches

What I don’t like about Underscore:

The lumbar recline is only 15 degrees (not sure a bath pillow can make up for this??)

Bancroft:

What I like about Bancroft:

The lumbar recline is 34 degrees

What I don’t like about Bancroft:

The step over height is higher at 20” but the soaking depth is lower at 15”

The basin looks more rounded, and to me maybe more small that the straight rectangle look?

Thoughts?
