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.

If you have ever disasembled both you would have seen that the Moen is a
much more elegant solution to single knob mixers. About 1/3 the parts
of a Delta and considerably more reliable over the long term.

I have both in the motel that I own. Delta beats Moen by at least 2x in
reliability. 35 of each.

for good basic chrome plated brass faucets try Chicago Faucet. Designed for
restaurant use, they are durable and reliable.

I have a Moen shower mixer: nasty non-eliminateable gap between the handle
and round trim plate; wandering temperature...
and a Chicago Faucet shower mixer: neat looking; steady temperature, even
with the john flushing
