Dumb vote, but decide for me, ML! hemming & hawing

[tdk2]

lol, so we've been bidding on houses like crazy and with no hesitation.

ANd yet I've hemmed and hawed over which kitchen faucet to get for the past 15 minutes right now. 

I tried one (Kohler) in a store and liked it. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051XKDBW/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=hi

The Delta version of it is the same on AMazon, and I think Delta had been running more in general (this one seems to be a$100 original list price but on Amazon, that's not always an accurate reflection). www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040YXMYS/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=hi

I think I'm going delta.

Now, do I want stainless or chrome?   I've ruled out arctic stainless mainly because it won't get here in 2 days w/ amazon prime.  Granite and sink are installed on thurs and I forgot to get the faucet.  I can't wait to have a kitchen sink so I sure as hell don't want to wait on a faucet.

ML, feel free to vote.

No other fixtures around it, blank slate.
My main concern is which shows dirt/fingerprints more? Chrome or stainless?  dh and I are of opposing opinions, but I think he's picturing stainless differently than what it is.

I would get something with a satin finish.

not chrome. too shiny. if not showing fingerprints is your goal, chrome will make you insane.

good points all around.


excellent point, tamb. I wouldn't want my house to look cheap. hahahahahah

I *think* the stainless has a satiny finish which is why I leaned that way. dh can only think of how hard it was to keep stainless dishwasher and fridge looking fingerprint-free. But flat vs round surface are totally different. ANd had our appliances been chrome, holy hell, we would have gone insane trying to clean! haha.
