Default Perlick vs. standard faucets???

I am thinking of putting a draft tower on my fridge. What is the advantage of the Perlick faucets? I see they are considered an upgrade at kegconnection and have seen them mentioned here. Just want to make sure I get the right stuff. Thanks for any help.

Perlicks are far superior imo. They will never stick and are far more sanitary, you will never regret spending a few more bucks.

Do yourself a favour and buy the Perlicks. Eliminate the sticking that the regular taps have and go stick free. Plus they are easier to clean with the removeable spout.

I think only the 425ss have the removable spouts. The new Perlick faucets 525ss and 575ss don't have that feature.

Edit: Perlick's FTW though. I started out with a cheap faucet, but upgraded before decking out my keezer. Totally worth it.
