Hi Sharon, We have the Forte shower head. it isn't installed yet, so I can't help you with performance issues, but I looked, and it does have a little screen. I hope I am happy with it, cause I LOVE the look of it.

I'm glad I noticed this post. I had not seen the faucet mentioned on the site before we purchased it. We love the faucet. It is really good quality and is very useful for cleaning the sink and dishes, especially large pots and pans. I actually don't know how useful the farmhouse sink would be without a large sprayer faucet. My two year old also thinks the sprayer is really fun too... lol. Lisa, the faucet doesn't pull out - you can turn it so that it reaches the entire sink and it pulls down a bit. When the sprayer is on, I can easily clean the far corners of the sink. I tend to wash all the dishes in the middle of the sink. Hope that helps.

I can't speak about Moen but I have Forte faucet in polished chrome - I selected it because (1) switching between spray and stream regimes is easy, no need to hold down anything, and I didn't like the feel of any push-down buttons on other faucets, just felt flimsy to me, (2) I can turn it off in any position which means next time I turn it on it 'remembers' the temperature setting (most other faucets I've seen I had to return the handle in the original position), and (3) it was within my price range, I tried to stay as low as possible on my budget. Of course, I like the looks and I am not a big fan of the high long-neck faucets. I've had it for couple of months and am as happy as I can be (gosh, it's a faucet, not a husband - lol). It has a good reach, height is just fine for my bigger dishes (and I have a 7-1/2 inch deep sink undermount on livingstone, so abt 8in total). As far as splashing goes, I found out it's me who does the splashing, not the faucet. I had a cheapo tiny faucet before that barely reached above the sink edge, thus no splashing. With higher faucet I tend to put things higher when I wash them and it (I) splash a little. No big deal though and I may be able to retrain myself back :)

Me!! I just got it in polished nickel about a month ago. I love it! Fits my space perfectly. Functions well, and most importantly.. Looks beautiful. It's very transitional. maybe you could go with a single handle at the prep sink? It is a very big faucet..
