The Montara product has a great shiny brass finish. Its only been 9 months since intallation but looks very nice. However, the keys that I programmed with the (truly) easy-to-follow directions, stopped working.  I called the 800 number and followed the instructions given, and it became clear the locking mechanism was not working as intended. Kwikset sent me a new cylinder which I installed and reset all keys.  The procedure and new cylinder worked and continue to work. I appreciated the on-line help and the co. sending me a new part.
I have been using Kwikset products since 1986 and have always been satisfied.  Rarely have I had a problem with their locks, many of the parts are interchangeable (within Kwikset products), and they are reasonably priced!
I will continue to use Kwikset Products!
