Thank you hestia_flames! In the mean time, I did go to a local plumbing store and looked at three models that I am considering: * Price Pfister Ashfield * Delta Allore * Kohler Vinnata The Price Pfister looks beautiful and more traditional with a lovely tulip shaped spray head, but the spout was cheap and thin. While the price is attractive ($281) I could see a dent in the display and can only imagine what a big stainless steel pot pushed up against the faucet would do. The Delta Allore is much more sturdy and has the magnet clasp for the spray head. I wasn't wild about its looks; I think it was a bit too contemporary for me. I could get the Delta Allore with 10% off, so it came in at $360, which is reasonably priced. The Kohler Vinnata is beautiful, I guess I'll need to shop around because they quoted me $561 as the contractor's discount for the stainless steel. I have checked the local craigslist every day, but haven't seen one yet in my area :-(. I wasn't able to see the Simplice, but my son saw it at Home Depot and said it wasn't good quality at all. The Moen Woodmere has all the same features as the Vinnata plus the stop button. I haven't seen it in person. I have seen the Vinnata on Ebay, but in the chrome finish for around $369. Of course, the stainless is at least $100 more. I've probably over analyzed the faucet situation. The local plumbing store had never heard of the Moen Woodmere, which I wanted to see in person. It appears that GWers know more about what's going on in terms of faucets. Go figure...

Yes .. but which of the kohler colors are the same finish as the hansgrohe allegro E... that is the problem. Glad you like the Talis - we got one for the bathroom sink.

Same question! Did you ever get an answer or see them both together?

I matched my stainless faucet to the stainless appliances and stainless sink. My cabinet hardware is a rustic brass. In your case, from a distance, the difference won't be obvious between the stainless faucet and chrome faucet, but the stainless faucet might be easier to keep clean. There is no right or wrong ...
