Does a good floor mounted tub filler W/O a hand shower exist?

I chose the perfect soaking tub and considered a Roman tub filler but decided to go with a floor mounted tub filler instead. Then we learned after the plumbing inspection today we can't have the floor mounted tub filler I picked out because of the hand filler. (It cannot be utilized without a tempering valve on it.)

Our choice now is to either remove the hand shower on the tub filler selected and cap off where it attaches to the faucet (My contractor and plumber both think we should be able to find a cap that matches the finish of the faucet.),

or use a faucet without a hand shower. However, after hours of googling I'm beginning to think that doesn't exist.

The Roman tub filler is no longer an option.

This is the tub filler I chose: http://www.jadousa.com/products/productDetail.aspx?id=4558

This is our tub:

Does anyone know of a floor mounted tub filler WITHOUT a hand shower? I didn't really want the hand shower anyway, but think it would look weird to cap it off. Has anyone else done this? I've searched the forum, Houzz, and DecorPad but cannot find examples. TIA.
