Not up with current pricing so I can't weigh in on that, but I have had a Bio Bidet Flow similar to this one for a few years and we've been very pleased with it.

Is it the Bio Bidet by Bemis FLOW X Motion Activated Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet or one of the others? I want to order one but have never had a Motion Activated so was wondering how it stood up and which one to get.

On a second look, yes, i'm pretty sure it's the top one in the list, the Flow x. It's great. If the sensor starts to not register well it's probably just that the batteries are getting low. I think I end up replacing them every 18 months. Easy install for a diy type as well.
Ours gets used a lot and has run like a champ. Hands free on/off is very handy and you're not paying any more than a regular faucet. You can install it with the sensor to the side of you are concerned about having big items in the sink and accidentally triggering the sensor. Highly recommend it.
While tempting, my faucets take a solid 25 seconds to warm up. Time I don't want to spend with my hands under the faucet. I assume there's no solution here to that?

Not sure what that has to do with motion activation or faucets, but if your water line runs are too long and you have to wait for hot water, the easy solution is to add a under the sink tankless heater. You can get them for between $50-100 depending on brand and installation is pretty simple for anyone with DIY skills.

On mine, the sensor is an on/off switch so it just takes a wave of the hand and it's on until you wave your hand again. You don't have to hold your hand in front of the sensor to keep the water running like a public restroom.

That would be great. Is this the model you own? The pictures show the motion sensor in front and below the water stream so it seems you would accidentally turn the water off during use.

Well I guess I assumed they function like commercial motion sensors where it turns off if it doesn't detect your hands. So I would have to sit there with my hands in cold water for 25 seconds.

All these are on/off, so you wave at it to turn on and then again to turn off.

That makes more sense, but since I never seen a home faucet work like that, I never put that together.
Regardless, still informed you how you can easily fix the cold water problem so enjoy!
Honest question, does the spring area get gunked up over time and, if so, how do you clean it?
One more question, what's the difference between the two spring touchless models? I don't see the difference beside the price. I see one is FLOW and one is FLOW 770.

Yes, I own the top one listed. You can mount it with the sensor pointed towards the sink (most common setup) which I did at first and I would sometimes accidentally trigger the sensor, but it was rare and mostly with big pots etc. When I got an in counter soap dispenser, I had to rotate the sensor to a side because the handle blocked the hole in the counter (previous installer should have allowed more space) and now I don't have that rare accidental trigger. The sensor works really well for me in either position.

Excellent question and I could not figure out the difference either, they look and are listed identically in the spec sheets...
