Default Wainscoting Height? and Fixture Question?

Hi,
What is the correct height for Wainscoting for 8 foot tall walls?

Is there any difference between buying name brand bathroom fixtures (i.e.
kohler bath and toilet) from a plumbing supply store vs. a Lowes, or Home Depot
Store? The prices at Lowes and/or Home Depot are a little lower for the same
model fixtures. Are the models truly not the same?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Donna

This situation likely applies to many of the 'Big Box' stores:

I spoke to a friend who is the CEO of a bicycle manufacturer about his
dealings with
Wal-Mart. He said he's happy to sell to them, but only on condition that
his company's name does not appear on the product, because of what he's
forced to do in order to meet their pricing policies. Example: fewer
spokes in the wheels, vinyl instead of leather saddles, plastic where metal
should be used, unsmoothed welds, no primer, less paint, etc. You only get
what you
pay for. A great majority of Wal-Mart merchandise is built to a price
point, rather than a quality/feature level.
