one handle or two?

[fflo]

Me, I come from a one-handle kitchen faucet family, and I currently have a one-handler, too. I like the ease of use of it and all, and am used to it, but maybe it'd be good to have the two twisters, for things like getting just hot or just cold water. And they look cool. What do ya'll think about one and two handles?

Here's a poll, but please comment, too, if anything strikes you.

And here's some fancy faucets I won't be getting, as they all cost over $500:

I grew up with a one-handle, had a two-handle in my last apartment, and now have a one-handle again. My experience with the two-handle is that it just created twice as much difficulty managing to turn the faucet all the way off, so that it would stop periodically dripping slightly. It was a sticky faucet, one that could in theory be turned far enough off to not drip (therefore the apartment maintenance people saw no need to fix it for me), but one that I often had to get out rubber gloves and tug on both handles of at great length before I actually succeeded in completely turning the stupid thing all the way off.

Of course, now that I have a one-handle again, my faucet here isn't sticky in the first place so it wouldn't actually matter here.
