I have this one in a stainless finish, and I have 2 other Brizos in my kitchen as well. Heavy, you can feel the quality, plumber was very happy to install them. Around $600. Brizo is called "Delta's luxury line" on the website, lifetime warranty. Think about how often you use the faucet, I would want real quality and not having to worry about replacing 2 years later.

We paid in that range for ours from Newport Brass. We love ours and have had no issues. I would worry about the inner workings of the faucet first. Do you want a living finish (i.e. unlacquered)? Or a finish that will look the same after 8 years of daily use? And you have to home in on your budget for the faucet. Is $800-$1000 out of your price range? If so, are you willing to decrease the budget on a different line item? You don't have to share those answers with me, just something to consider.

For me, something that I use daily would need to be a higher quality item than something I only use occasionally.

I have a Krauss faucet in brushed brass. I got it and the matching RO faucet from Amazon.

I second the Brizo suggestion. Great value and looks! Here are pics of the matte gold faucets we installed for a recent kitchen project. These are Brizo's Artesso line:

I have the Artesso as my pot filler also, pure yummyness ;)

For a lower cost brand, consider just plain Delta. They offer a lot of choices, and are beloved by plumbers due to easy parts availability.
