I don't care for the really high ones. I prefer one around 12 - 13" at the most. it's not easy to find one I really like that also meets my other needs.

Thanks! I was surprised when he told me a 15" faucet is for a prep sink. My current (old) faucet is about 9". I want to go with a higher arc, but didn't feel I needed to search for a faucet that was above 15" that I liked just because it's for a main sink. I also hear the taller faucets create more splash. I don't like that.

The sales rep didn't help you. And IMHO he made a ridiculous and untrue statement.

A faucet should provide you with the functionality you want and be in scale to the overall sink area. A prep sink can take a high faucet under certain conditions and a main sink can take a low faucet.

I would choose a faucet I like first -- and then see how the height works with the overall space.

In a previous kitchen, I had a window behind the sink at a certain height so I was fairly limited as I wanted things to line up. Some have cabinets over the sink or a drip down plate rack so the faucet height is constrained.

Otherwise, it's up to you to decide what looks good and what you want the faucet to do, the style, how it lines up in the sink and how it functions in the space overall.

Rococo girl, Thank you for your reply. The sales rep was a guy from the where house. The sales rep I spoke with later agreed that he was misinformed. I looked at the Brizo Solna prep faucet and t is in the 14" range. Not the 15 11/16" of the kitchen faucet. I changed my mind on my granite (no longer doing a contrasting perimeter yet now own a slab of suede black pearl), so I returned the Pfister and went with the Brizo Solna which I really wanted to begin with.
