A lot of these posts are questions, but I did want to share that I recently did a new build ranch with 2263 square feet on the main floor. I used Shaw Expressions throughout, except for tile in the bathrooms -- no carpet! The Shaw Expressions was great. My only regret is that my preferred color, Poetry, was only available in the 7.5" version, so I did Fresco in the 9.5" version because I had a large great room and I thought the wider floor would scale well with the room size.

The floor is great, it feels solid and substantial when you walk on it. Nary a squeak. And the color is amazing with so much depth to each plank, plus there's just the right amount of variation where it looks natural and authentic, but not overdone. It has a huge wear layer too.

If you have a choice to add this to your flooring, do it. My pictures are of an incomplete and uncleaned new home build, but hopefully you can see how beautiful it is.
