I liked the longer pulls for the majority of my cabinets because I felt they looked more sleek and contemporary, but the 7” center to center (10” length) didn’t fit one of my drawers that was less wide. So I got the 5” pull (8” total length) for that one drawer. I think the difference in length isn’t too noticeable and achieved the look I wanted. The stainless steel pulls have a great shiny finish and are high quality.
