Not a fan of the LVT/WPC/Vinyl
At the end of the day, it is still a printed picture with repeating pattern....no different from laminate floor. High end laminate also tends to have better look and texture than high end vinyl at a cheaper price.
The only advantage it has is being waterproof. But the cost premium over laminate is not worth it imo. Also, the vinyl plank itself is waterproof, but your subfloor isn't. So if you have any thing more than a minor spill (e.g your dishwasher or toilet leaked overnight), you'll need to take off the floor and let the subfloor dry out anyway)
At $3.50/sqft...i much rather spend a bit more and go for the real thing. (Laminate on the other hand is a good low cost option since it is typically $1.50-$2/sqft)
