T'aint necessarily so. I ordered some premium grade Scanvik faucets and
shower set single knob mixer valves recently. Took one out of the box
and sent them all back. They did not look as well made as the Moen's I
can get at Home Despot for 1/3 less money. The only things I kept was
the shower wands because they have the locking button valve on the head.

But if you buy the marine units, you shouldn't need to replace them every
decade or so - there is a reason why some stuff is expensive; it is built for
its intended use.
