You will find that higher end faucets and might cost a little more, but you get what you pay for and the extra quality that goes into these higher end faucets are worth the extra dollars. I briefly worked for this company and did a lot of buffing on these products. The company takes great pride in the quality of their Kohler faucets and they made sure that we buffed these to the highest standards they set for their products. I can vouch that if it’s not perfectly done, they will scrap it and it never makes it to the stores. They only let the best faucets leave their factories and every customer is assured of getting one of the nicest faucets that is on the market today.
In many homes one of the items that your guests will see and use is the bathroom faucets. So it makes since to have a better quality and more stylish element in the guest bathroom. Unfortunately this is not the case and most will go with the contractor grade faucet that looks bland and usually is lower quality and will need to be replaced sooner than later.
