I’ve decided on blanco sublime 700u anthracite. Currently there’s a bundle price with Grohe mixer. I’m likely to give Grohe mixer a pass having read some of the reviews here. I just visited a hansgrohe showroom and quite liked their matris select 71. The height is 32cm and the other model is 22cm. I prefer the taller one but am concerned about water splashing out. Is it something I should be worried about? What about finishing? I like chrome but what I have now in chrome (no brand) is stained with watermarks and scratches. Stainless steel finishing does look great as opposed to my earlier thought.
Finally decided on the kitchen mixer.

So far the one does ship to Malaysia is a Taobao seller (代购 buy-on-behalf service) based in Germany. RM2100 inclusive of shipping by DHL. It's slightly more expensive with tax included if it's shipped to China. I have three options here:
1. Ship directly to Malaysia and pray that I don't get taxed
2. Ship to China and then use a bulk forwarder service inclusive of import duties
3. Source from local dealers (will get some quotes from them to get a feel on the price difference)
