We have the Kraus faucet KPF-1602, which is the "pre-rinse" style or "professional" style faucet. It's not the style you are looking for, but you said you wanted opinions on the brand nevertheless. We love it! Initially we looked at this pre-rinse/professional style of faucet by Franke, KWC, Hansgrohe, etc., and they were all in the neighborhood of $1000+. We couldn't believe the price of the Kraus by comparison, but decided to take a chance. We have now had the Kraus faucet in place for 5 months, and it has performed beautifully. It arrived packed very well, including a flannel cover, and weighed a lot; a very solid faucet. In fact, we actually like it better than the high-end brands we saw in the showrooms. Lots of water pressure, and its appearance has wow factor. The only negative I can think of is that the installation instructions were very poorly written, and the parts diagram was confusing. Yet, DH and I installed it ourselves, and figured it out. I think the installation took us 45 minutes, and that is with the confusing instructions and we are non-plumbers. A plumber should have no problem. I'll link the site we bought ours, which has a 5% off deal which made it the least expensive site we found for Kraus. I know Overstock sells the Kraus faucets too. Here is a link that might be useful: Kraus KPF-1602 Faucet

They both look and sound like nice faucets. It depends on if you want or like the really tall ones. I don't care for the tall ones - but I'm short and that might be why. the reach part makes a difference where the water falls into the sink. I stood in front of my sink and put my hands out as if to wash them or clean veggies. This showed me about where I needed the spout hght to me. A low one would put it about where my hands would be, so I want it to be a bit higher - like 8-9" up from counter level. I also don't want the reach part to close to the back side of the sink either - that would cause me to have to reach to far in to put my hands under the water. try something like that with your sink and see where it's comfortable to you.

Both my main sink and my prep sink have high arcs. Not the super high commercial type with a spring, just the 12-15 inch high solid arch type. Neither splash, though the corner placement we went with on the prep sink (for use from 2 sides as well as a shallow cabinet depth) means that the water stream ia a little closer to the edges and you can get water running off your hands or something you are rinsing if you hold it up high. It was something to think about, but I wouldn't change it anyway -- water hits granite and wipes off. I wipe the counter anyway. Splattering all over might be different. The main faucet is a Whitehaus Metrohaus and is placed in the center of a larger sink. We don't have a splashing issue. Our neighbors put in a similarly sized Kohler Vinata and said they regretted the splashing. They have a shallow sink and I did't notice the drain placement. You can get splashing if the water stream hits the drain, especially off the folds of the rubber baffle -- ironically, also called a splash guard (but that is for splashes out of the disposal). The faucet we replaced was a straight pullout, I would never go back to one of those. We use large stockpots and do canning. I also have large baking sheets I need to wash without having water running all over the way it did with a divided sink and short faucet.

I've noticed that reviews, even on different websites, are for a model other than the model shown. Even on their own website. Anyone else? e.g. Kraus-Allyn Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet, Model #: KPF-4103MB. Shows review for "bridge" and "pull down" styles. Other sites, same thing. Frustrating. I want to know how THIS one is rated, not other models or styles.
