Am looking at getting a Toto UltraMax toilet

Its priced at $300 and the Sana Gloss version is $349

Is it worth the additional $49 or is it just hype?

totos on flush sound like a jet aircraft engine taking off

Ummm, no, they don't. I've installed a few and encountered many -
none of the Totos had objectionable noise. Terry Love's site
specifically mentions that the Toto toilets are quiet.

I guess if you live alone its a good choice since your already awake,

homes with little kids have troubles with power flushers

What are you talking about? Toilets flush for a few seconds. Little
kids can sleep through a hurricane. It's also common to place toilets
in these little tiled rooms called "bathrooms". They have doors that
close on the bathrooms, and the doors are usually closed when someone
is doing their business. It is simple courtesy to flush when someone
is done with their business. This is usually done with the door still
closed. If someone adheres to the "If it's yellow, let it mellow"
doctrine, then some flushes will be eliminated (unintentional pun),
and there will be no noise.

Read any or the reviews on Toto toilets _anywhere_. People love the
things. Amazon doesn't have a single review that's at all negative.
Check this out:

"The UltraMax consistently receives high ratings, with perfect and
near-perfect scores given for performance, ease of installation and
overall satisfaction.

With its three-second flush, the TOTO UltraMax toilet thoroughly
cleans the bowl without leaving behind any remnants. This easy-to-
assemble toilet with its G-Max flush is the most powerful toilet
around. Engineers, consumers and plumbers alike repeatedly give the
TOTO UltraMax high marks for its "deceptively powerful flush" and
"clog-free performance." The soft-close seat also receives kudos for
eliminating the loud clanking associated with a dropped toilet seat. "

I think you've got the Toto mixed up with another toilet. The Toto's
aren't pressure-assisted - those are the noisy ones. You also forgot
to mention the soft-close seat - that eliminates the loudest noise.
