If you just looking the sit higher, there are 3" thick toilet seats I believe,remember ,you get what you pay for, a decent toilets gonna cost you 200+
If you just want to sit higher yes, but if you want it to flush no.
Toto, 200.00+ also have had good luck with Kohler although they have changed their flush valve other posters will have other brands I'm sure.
A Vorten 1.6 flush two piece handicap toilet.

Our handyman installed a low-water-use toilet from Niagra: Water Saving Toilets For Home, Hospitality or Multi-Family and it works surprisingly well.
I like Gerber comfort height also
That is what I use. With water becoming more valuable that gasoline in some parts of the country, as it is in my part, they work great. I also have the ADA height, and it sits fairly high.
I would stick with what most plumbers install or go to a plumbing supply house and see what they are selling the most of, I would stay away from the last 2 you mentioned
A handful of months ago I got the American Standard Cadet 3 Flowise elongated at Home Depot. It flushes very, very well, is 'right height,( ADA height), and has that upgraded EverClean finish and was $179...but I see inflation last month now has it at $219. Still well worth it. Rated flush performance on MaP testing website is 1,000.
Comes with total junk seat and steel bolts, which I throw away.
For your pricepoint, the Toto Entrada is an entry level toilet that we have dozens installed in apts, it is elongated and flushes as good as any, also rated at 1,000 on MaP testing...but I'm not fond of the small tank look.

I will second American standard. Big 3inch flush valve, powerful flush, nice price point, good quality and easy to get parts. Never buy a glacier bay unless you like plunging.
The only complaint I have with American standard is that CRAPPY blue seal the make that gets bubbles in it.....
Their flushvalves SUCK. I’ve started just replacing the flushvslve and installing a 3” flapper.

There could be a problem sitting so high that "things" are under the effect of gravity for a longer time before hitting the water's surface and could splash more, how shall I put this, vigorously? I'd prefer to keep the butt to water distance as short as possible.
but for some old guys, they like their nuggets dry!
I can't remember the last time I could do a deep knee bend comfortably and without toppling over.

Bought a house with 2 Jacuzzi chair height toilets. They flush well, no clogs yet. If I ever buy another it will be a Jacuzzi.
