LOL WTF??
How big is your bathroom?
For the BA that is not the master BA, there is a 3-1/2' center path from the door to the window. On the left side is a 3' shower, 5' bath, a 34" stall for the urinal, and then a 39" stall for the commode. On the right is a long vanity and then a closet. I specifically designed the room so that someone taking a shower or bath does not have to see the urinal to toilet fixture (sitting in a tub and seeing a commode has always been a bit disturbing for me.)
The urinal only adds about 24 ft^2 to the bathrooms, and the general design of the house is a long Cape Cod with only a center hallway (and hence long rooms), and since I demand that the downstairs BA have a window, the space was going to be used in any case.

Urinals are great for public restrooms because they allow men to "go" without having to worry about seat-splash and without the necessity of "putting down paper". Urinals, however, are regularly prone to "oversplash", which makes your floor a mess of piss. In a public bathroom, especially a bar, it's not that big a deal. In your house...ehh...you're gonna be mopping a lot more to keep your place sanitary.
I have had prostate problems since 17.

Commodes and their areas always get grimy because of my stream is often weak. The urinal will be more much more sanitary for me.

Plus if your bathroom's not big enough, you're not going to be able to put it anywhere where it's not face-level with someone sitting down to take a dump. Which is just nasty. Public bathrooms are big enough to fit several between wide divided stalls.
As I have mentioned, there are stalls so that someone sitting on the commode will not be able to see the urinal (although she would have to pass it up walking to it.)
