Default Looking for info on walk-in bathtub

I'm thinking to have some work done in the downstairs bathroom. I may
replace the bath with a shower area (not simply a ready-made shower
enclosure) or a walk-in bathtub. I checked with local plumbing companies
and no one seems to have any experience with them. One fellow told me he
has seen one but hasn't installed any. At any rate, the manufacturers
generally claim their product is easily installed by any licenced plumber.

I'm wondering what experiences people may have had with them, in particular,
on the installation side. One other concern I have is leg room. Ideally,
I'd like to actually sit down in the model I wanted to buy before actually
buying it but no one in town has any in their showroom so this may prove to
be difficult. I'm fairly tall and knee-room is often a concern.

Thanks
