I wanted the Rohl hi-arc -- which would definitely be a focal point -- but couldn't get one anywhere in the country. I went with a simpler style but I'm thrilled with the way the pull down works as it switches to a sprayer. But the faucet is so powerful using it is a bit like walking a big dog.

Very interesting. I love the Dornbracht "Tara" line, I have it in my powder room. So I can attest to superlative quality. How gorgeous is that kitchen faucet?? Wow. I have the Barber Wilson's traditional bridge faucet. The REALLY trad one, with the curvy legs and no side spray. I'll tell you, I'm secretly glad that it's "trending out." It's a classic of course and will always be tasteful and appropriate and beautiful, whether it's "now" or not. I hate it when things I love get trendy. It's a thing. I've never used a pull down. I think I'd prefer it to a pull out, just form wise. Hmmm....But then again, I don't have a sprayer at all. And don't miss it, except on very rare occasions. So maybe I shouldn't comment on that.

DD2 wants an arch faucet and I think will want the Vinnate. I have a Rohl Country arched faucet in a living finish, ORB, and with a delicate single lever. I don't see it on the website any longer. It's similar to the small Herbaeu "De Dion" lever. The ORB finish is gone from several inches of the lever after four years, but I just love the look. Thanks for the recommendations, Jane.

I've never had any trouble with either. I originally did not want a pull out faucet but we have concrete counters and needed a one hole faucet. I couldn't be more pleased with the Vinnata!
