: So, you might like the kind whose main spout is also a sprayer that can be : pulled out. That will (obviously) give you more room over a pot than even : the high rise pull-up type. Colored finishes (typically white or black) : will not have the problem with chrome chipping off of plastic that has been : mentioned in this thread. If that leaves you with an unused hole in your : sink deck, buy a plug to fill it, which will cost maybe a couple of bucks.
For many reasons (and this includes other family members as well) we have settled on a one handle + separate sprayer design. The debate now is whether to pay up to 50% extra for stainless steel or live with chrome. (Nobody I talked to can relate to the "plastic problem" at all; maybe Dave has an old model, or some special run Moen did for some retailer, or maybe a Moen knock-off, I can't guess.)
: Menards may be worth looking at. They don't have as broad a line as Home : Depot but they're often cheaper.
Both HD and Menards were supremely unattractive (they may be ok if I know just which model I want, but then I might as well buy online) although HD does have a much larger display.
At the other extreme I found many showrooms that are very attractive but also overpriced.
So far the best compromise I found is Remodelers Supply on Pulaski (thanks Kenji).
