   Not really. I have dual shower heads and they rarely get used together. If you shower with a partner regularly it's a nice upgrade and likely worth it as the cost is frankly minimal, but beyond that it's mostly just a waste of water. Now I would recommend a proper shower head AND a diverter to a hose and wand. It makes cleaning much easier when you can rinse down the whole stall. Also handy when using the shower for cleaning the odd sided or shaped object or rinsing off the dog or whatever. The other thing you should consider is the placement of the valve/s. There is no reason it needs to be below the showerhead or above the tub spout. You can mount it anywhere, including outside the shower completely. I find it really annoying having to lean past a toilet or worse, get into the stall before turning on the water and getting hosed down with 55 degree water before the hot water arrives. I would also put the valve on an interior wall where you can cut out the wall behind the valve (such as a hall or bedroom wall) if you ever need to replace it. This keeps you from having to rip apart the water proofing in the shower to replace a valve. Patching a square of sheetrock in the hall, cupboard or bedroom is a lot cheaper than redoing the entire shower stall.

   There's a few brands. I had a Kohler model in my last house. It's not just a digital controller though, it's also a valve that you have to plumb in. I suggest only installing this if it's done in an area that you have access to, or a panel can be easily installed. If it breaks, you don't want to have to rip your wall open. And it'll probably break. And they're expensive. And they're awesome.

   Yes, I recently did the walk in shower conversion and added two shower heads and one with a handheld on the slider bar. There is a valve on each side so my wife can have her Mother of Dragon showers while I keep the temps reasonable on my side. Handheld is a god send for cleaning.

   Opposite heads. Plumbed to different valves for independent temp control. Make sure one has a wand. Skip the digital bullshit, horizontal heads, rain heads, et. That stuff is all wasted money imo. Digital stuff breaks. Not being able to do separate temps on the heads makes it not as nice for showering with your buddy. If you don’t have a wand, you have no idea what you are missing out on. Do one that allows you to do a high pressure fan spray from the top. It’s like a pressure washer and amazing to help clean the shower and get the deep dirt out of your fluffy dog. You’ll never want anything different.

   I shower with my wife everyday. One shower head is fixed (mine), and the other is a wand (hers). We have it on a valve which also turns on two body sprayers. Do it.
