The new "pull-down" design is very popular now, and for good reason.  I had an old "pull-out" that I was going to replace it with a similar Delta, but could not stop noticing the fancy Pull-Downs that every one is buying.  Most of them were to fancy for me and very tall.  I have a small area to work with and this Leland model fits in it nicely.  The pull-down head has three sprays:  standard flow, spray and Shield Spray.  Shield Spray is on all the high-end models and I was pleasantly surprised this model had that feature.  It allows one to spray away heavy soil from plates without messy splatter.  Very cool!  The simple and elegant design of this Leland model really works for me.  Great Faucet!  Buy with confidence.
