Seems like established technology with common metals fabricating a simple mechanism. What differentiates a relatively inexpensive, contractor-grade faucet from one that costs anywhere from double to 10x the price?

    I figured production scale was part of it, but still assumed standardization in the process over time would bring the price down. But they probably aren’t selling that many $700 faucets to bring the price down much below their costs, and makes sense they’d have to keep the price high to maintain the brand reputation to sell a boutique product.
