So our the holes drilled in our granite counters were drilled too close together. So we could not put in the soap dispenser without having the handle in the front of the faucet.  We did the oil rubbed bronze which looks great and it turns out the handle in the front is very convenient we can just push it off or pull it on with our hands if our hands are full.  Only problem is the soap dispenser does not work very well, it worked well for the first year but not it sticks every time you use it and you have to pull on it to get it up.  Other than that we really like the faucet just not sure what to do about the soap dispenser.
