The G5A and the Neorest share the same core — TORNADO FLUSH, CEFIONTECT, PREMIST, instant warm water and a touchless auto lid. Four things separate them: the Neorest flushes on less water (1.0/0.8 GPF against 1.2/1.0), extends EWATER+ to the bowl and under the seat instead of the wand alone, adds two more dryer settings, and carries a three-year residential warranty against the G5A's one year. If none of those four matter to you, the G5A does the same job for considerably less.
