It produces a lovely full stream shower. The large shower head with detachable handheld set is very versatile, as you can set water to come out both shower heads or only one, and the handheld set can be easily used for washing pets, children, or seated adults. As an inexpensive alternative to installing a vertical bar ($$$$) I bought an inexpensive bracket that attaches to the tile with suction and a lever (~$5). That has been a very satisfactory solution for keeping the shower wand within reach in the tub and for someone sitting on the bench in the shower. These pictures are from two different bathrooms--one with a tub, one with a walk-in shower--they just look the same because I used the same tile for both remodels.
