Delta is a great faucet maker, not fancy or made of bronze or such, just functional. I just replaced the Delta I had for 12 years. I can say that the manufacture has become cheaper, the copper tubing is smaller diameter and shorter than the one I replaced. The faucet is lighter also and not as robust as the one I had. The old could of been fixed by replacing the washers, springs and o-rings, but it would of cost almost as much to replace it.. of course I had to also replace tubing under the sink which does not match the current standards that this faucet comes with.. so if you have a older home like mine, you will need to replace the copper tubes with those new faucet hoses they sell at any home depot or lowes, that would ad another 20-30 dollars, and you may need to replace it all the way back including the shut-off valves... replacement is more expensive the older the house.
