For faucets, if I need to change a cartridge, do you all think it’s just as easy with Delta as with Moen (to get the cartridge and to install)?
Thanks.

I've found Moen to be easier, and to not require replacement quite as frequently. Also helps that Moen essentially has only one type of cartridge.
I would imagine that others will say the opposite, though. Probably varies from situation to situation.
happy?
Nope, I agree with you 120%. Moen is the easiest and the least difficult to find parts or cartridges for in my area.
Delta uses a different type of stem seal on their lower end line of faucets ( $200 and less) and tend to leak quickly. DanT
And don't forget - Moen have a lifetime warranty. Read free replacement. Not sure about Delta, tho.
All the best...
To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
