I'm planning to do a period renovation of my mid-century bathroom and have been looking for new-old-stock Kohler Triton (not "Triton Bowe") sink and shower hardware. Just my luck that the stuff gets made for 60 years and then discontinued right before I want it!

The main reason I picked that specific style instead of a Delta or Moen is that the aftermarket makes cool 'atomic' handles for them:

I've already got the hardware for the sinks, but I'm stuck trying to decide between traditional two-knob controls for the shower vs. a Kohler Rite-Temp single lever valve. The Rite-Temp is "better," but the two separate knobs would be more period-correct. Anybody have opinions?

    If you're going to be using the shower, then what you prefer!
    I love the look of the traditional style but dislike using them for getting the temp wher i like it, so if it were me it would be the rite-temp.
