Oh definitely I agree that a bath is VERY therapeutic and it helps with my sore shoulders immensely. The times I choose to take a bath it is very helpful to my health and I appreciate that greatly.

But in general just for washing, I think a shower is the way to go for me

I have never used a stopper while taking a shower, but will try it. I love the idea of using it as a foot soaker at the same time. Although I used to take a lot of soaking baths, full tub of water, of course, I now only take showers. I do usually wash my hair in the shower, but I don't think I'm in there that long. Will check it out - being aware of how much water we use sounds like a great way to keep an eye on our usage.
