The hot water handle does not sit at a right angle to the faucet arm when in the "off" position (the cold water handle does - as it should). It is 1/4" too far back. Per the plumber, this is a factory defect with the seating inside.  It will always bug me, but if I exchange it I will have to pay the plumber another $200 and there is no guarantee that the next faucet will not have the same defect. Too bad, because the faucet is attractive otherwise.
