we are in the middle of installing tile in our bathroom. We have laid the membrane down. At this point we are trying to decide how to do the transition to the hallway.

Based on the assumption that the mortar will add about ~1/8'', it seems that the tile will end up approximately 2-3mm higher than the engineered hardwood.

Is there an easy way to match the height of the tile to the floor? Alternatively, is this height difference large enough that I should use a tile to floor reducer (like this reducer) or can I get away with a same height transition (like this T transition or this profile transition)

If the difference was only going to be 2mm, you could get by with a "T" transition. The wood ones would be better. The problem is all my tile jobs have ended up with close to 7mm of mortar so the "T" wouldn't work. I've had to use a threshold between the two surfaces. This would actually be good using a marble one because the bathroom floor will get wet and you won't want that moisture getting under the wood flooring.
