I am remodeling a bathroom, and have been asked to install towel warmers. I am shocked by the price variation, $200 to $2000 dollars. Any experiences with either end of this spectrum? I need hardwired product in a pewter or brushed steel finish. White enamel would be acceptable, but only as a last resort. Is this a case of profiteering or simply you get what you pay for?

In certain scenarios, flat roofs make more sense than pitched roofs (and vice versa).

I just installed one, a DeLonghi model BMU 12 which is a 1500 watt wall mount with a fold-up towel bar/towel warmer. After it was instyalled, the HO asked me to remove the towel bar, and I readily agreed, bcause it seemed flimsy and susceptible to damage. The actual heater is fine.
BTW, I bought it on line from heatershop.com and got good service. Paid $69 so maybe a higher priced uniot would do better.
Do it right, or do it twice.
Thanks for the feedback. Ill go to the website you suggest.
