Any reason not to get this faucet? It's the only one available locally and that would be easier than ebay. I know you'll all tell me the truth. It could be way over the top for all I know!

I know nothing about the interior of the faucet, but from the outside it looks good.

I'd find out the details of how it's constructed (ceramic/brass vs plastic etc) though... We have one that we liked when we saw it but 2-3 years later the switch that controls the stream/spray function isn't working well and it's already starting to show it's age. The newDelta Brizo Floriano we put in the new sink is rock solid by contrast, feels like a Mercedes vs the Ford Festiva feel of our other faucet. I have a mantra that I apply to a lot of things "Don't buy cheap tools". Always go for quality (NOT to be confused with price!) and in the long run it will cost you less (a cheap tool and it's replacement almost always costs more than one good one) and you'll be happier with the result. If you need arguments to shop around for faucets use that... And remember that if you're happier in the long run you'll have less stress and probably lower medical/therapy bills! ::grin::

Ok. Soapbox mode off... I'm with Lisa, I like the look!

I don't know how it's constructed either! They say it has a lifetime warranty thru Peerless but that doesn't tell me much. the other faucet option is-

oops, posted it in the wrong spot. I'm just so excited about my new pic-posting abilities, just a few lay-out issues!

That's a link to the ebay listing.
