At some point you have to say you've done ENOUGH homework, and just look at the practical factors:

0) Price;
1) Warranty;
2) Who's standing behind warranty, how far do I have to drive to get a hassle-free exchange?
3) With a little foresight, can I install it in a manner that's EASY TO SWAPOUT?
3.1) Install it in a manner (shutoff valves) that makes it easy to isolate or bypass WHILE it's being swapped out.

Then just slap it in there and get a big xoxo from the happy wife. ;')

Yeah, I know, but the happy wife won't be so happy when the POS I slapped in there springs a leak like the 23 other ones and ruins our new custom cabinets! :)

Actually I can mount this thing on the wall in the basement just beneath the cabinet, assuming there aren't any pressure drop issues with running extra line up to the spout. That way a leak is no problem. I just don't want to pay for a headache.

Thanks.
