But, the toilets occasionally need to be repaired with a new gasket, or a new fill valve. Now, I know that I can turn off the water to the toilets and have more confidence that I will not encounter a leaking valve that would require the water to be shut down for the entire house. To me, the peace of mind was worth the cost.

Did you happen to see how the new valves were attached to the water lines? Did they use SharkBite (or similar) fittings or threaded fittings? (just curious in case I want to attempt it myself in the future)
