Oh, totally! upgrading my kitchen faucet was life-changing, particularly since I hand-wash; my apt has no dishwasher. at work, dishwashing was easy(er); the valves had lever-y handles you could “tap” or “punch” to quickly modulate, the deep sink allowed lots of clearance under the faucet head, and there was a sprayer to blast off gunk. At home, my valves had knobs you have to grasp and torque your wrist to twist, the head was straight over my shallow sink, and no sprayer.
I got the cheapest model with a tall “gooseneck” head, levers, and a sprayer from Lowes for between $60-70 and some putty. Installation is really easy. It made a huge difference. Dishwashing is still a chore, but the work flows much easier. no more struggling to get large items under the faucet, especially with other dishes in the sink.
without the work sink to compare it to, I might never have noticed, though. So glad I invested a little for the right tool.
