Toilet height - all too low?

I'm not sure if I am imagining problems which don't actually exist.
The new toilet my husband plans to put in place has a height of 40cm from floor to toilet rim. I didn't notice until today I found a toilet I used in a shop is distinctly low. I happen to have a mini tape measure in my handbag and found it's about 40cm height.
From then I researched all close coupled toilet from Duravit and Crosswater. None their "short projection" range provides higher seating position, like 43-45cm.
My husband doesn't seem to mind and admits because he just doesn't spend much time sitting down, unlike the ladies!
Can anyone suggest if any reliable brand has shorter projection and closed coupled models offer higher seating position?
Does wall hung models allow you build it to the height you want? If yes, how much more expensive are the wall hung models comparing with normal floor mounted?
Would be grateful to have some comments...

Look at "Comfort Height Toilets"0 -
Yup. Comfort height is what you're
Looking for if you're not happy with regular toilets. You must be used to a comfort height already as it can feel a bit odd to most of us!
The difference between close-coupled and wall-hung is significant. A good frame alone for a wall hung will be £250 or so, plus the loo, cistern and flush plate, plus whatever boxes it, the additional labour to fit one - when can be three fixes and, often, tiling.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
