Delta Compel 561 faucet - How to change the flow regulator (and save money or water)

The Delta 561 line of faucets are nice, and the price can vary considerably among models that are only different based on the flow efficiency regulator. The faucet I wanted in the flow rate I needed was nearly 3x the price of a faucet that only varied by model number and flow rate. I called Delta to verify, and did the following:
I swapped out a commercial line Delta 561-HGM-DST 0.5 GPM regulator for a residential 1.2 GPM regulator. The 1.2 GPM version was over $200 at the time I bought this, and the commercial version was under $80.

This faucet is somewhat similar in design, but different to the original that is currently showing out of stock. You can see different flow rate versions at the link.

The faucets below are the originally reviewed faucets, but all are showing out of stock as of the time I'm typing this. Maybe they'll come back in stock, or maybe they are discontinued.

(Delta sells various flow rate options under the Delta RP75432 model number). If you call Customer Service, they are pretty helpful and actually pick up the phone.

    Thanks for taking the time to show this! This helped me figure out my low water pressure issue. There can be a build up of gunk on the flow regulator over time. I cleaned the flow regulator and now I have twice the amount of water flow.

    @@littlepinkguitargirl oh but it saves water, if it takes 10 minutes to fill a 1 gallon bucket with a restrictor and 1 minute without, that's 10X the savings! (sarcasm)

    Where did you buy the little pink flow restricter that you replaced the red one with?

    You can call Delta customer service with your faucet model number and they will send it to you. Tell them which flow rate you would like. Look up what options exist by googling your faucet model number + "flow restrictor", or just ask them what options exist.
