They are expensive... They have 2 safety features one is the balancing for pressure incase the cold water dies off and your in the shower it will balance the hot/cold so you don't get scalded...

Now say you accidentally bump the shower and your hot water runs really hot say in the 140+ range.. This has a safety that will stop the water if it's too hot over 120F...

What ever you get make sure it has anti scalding feature incase someone flushes or if you have a pressure loss.. better safe then sorry...
