Two mess ups, the tile guy should have know enough to use 1/4" not 1/2" for a floor.
I also would have used a PVC flange with a stainless steel ring.

I agree about the tile. We discussed the height and he assured me it would be flush or, at most, 1/8" off. It's a good 1/4" high at the transition and ticks me off every time I catch my toe on it. :vs_mad:Two mess ups, the tile guy should have know enough to use 1/4" not 1/2" for a floor.

The toilet will definitely need about 1/8" shimming on either side, because the tile is slightly higher at the rear.I swear by the Korky seals and use them exclusively now. As long as you have the correct seal stack for your flange height it will work perfectly.
I prefer the PVC with the SS flange, but have used the solid PVC in the past.
I wouldn't change a thing. People that break the PVC flange likely over tightened it. If their floor is uneven, or seal is too thick, rather than correct it, they probably overtighten to compensate.
Set your toilet down without the seal first and see if it rocks. If so, shim it until stable. Mark your shim placement, remove and add in seal. This should help to prevent overtightening to stop the rock
