I'm constantly wiping up the added splash from ours, and I purposely hold things lower in the sink. Would I change it? No way unless I can't afford papertowels.
DO NOT install those faucets that come with a hose and a spring inside!. The tube that hosts such hose is an open conduct directly to the cabinet under the sink. That means that when the packer hose wears (or the hose wears itself), or the hose nozzle is loosened by use, the water will enter in the tube and will drain directly in the cabinet. I've faced a TON of times that problem in all my relatives and fiend's home. In addition, the feature that allows to "pull" the hose is a stupidity since the spring will force the hose to return to its position. This means that the user only has "one hand" to perform the tasks (the other hand is busy holding up the hose). Come on! this is a very stupid invention. Keep using the traditional fixed faucet that is way better and cheap.
How deep is your sink? I have a high faucet and a very deep sink and there are no issues with splashing out in general. The only time is when I have things stacked too high in the sink and the water splashes off something at the wrong angle. I'd say that's more my fault than the faucet's though!
I just had mine installed a couple of weeks ago. High faucet and the deepest sink I could find. Love it! So easy to wash big pots and pans, and I cook from scratch every day.
I love the high faucets. They do not splash because the aerator makes a very soft flow, no matter how high you turn the water on. Also, one poster complained about only having one hand while the other was pulling down the hose. His faucet must not be adjusted properly, because when you pull down the hose, it stays put where you pull it to. Then you push it back into the original position when you want to - all very easy, you can do it with two fingers. They are not like the old sprayers, which tended to have hose problems.
A deep sink is essential or there will be splashing even with a good aerator. Most newer homes do have deeper ones, but I've seen very shallow sinks (in comparison to the newer, deeper ones) in older homes that have not been remodeled.
