This is the third faucet in 24 years. We almost went with the same old simple (single handle also) "flat neck" style, happy we did not. Yes, it costs more than the old style, but what do you use the most often in the kitchen? The faucet! We were also "afraid" of the hose being in the neck because of seeing others using a crowbar to get it back up in there. The magnets plus the use of the weight on the hose makes a perfect combination of getting the sprayer back up into the neck.
