It's the ball assembly in the on/off lever that has to be replaced on this one. I think we spent nearly $200 on this faucet too. Not sure I could be wrong by half on the price of that but the thing is only 5 years old too.
I was in IKEA earlier this year looking for something specific and noticed their faucets. You'd be surprised how well made theirs are and for a fraction of the price of the higher end faucets. Same for their anodized cookware. I'm going to get a whole set of those to replace the shit pots my mom got me because she thought they were nice because they are from Wolfgang Puck. I love that pan I got at IKEA and as someone who loves to cook, I find them comparable to the Calphalon. I've cooked with Calphalon so I am not comparing blindly.
If I replace the whole faucet, I'm going to replace the sink as well and go with stainless steel. I went with porcelain / white and a white faucet and I HATE HATE HATE it! I hate stainless steel too but it does not 'yellow' over time like white porcelain does.
