You are totally right. We were equally divided on quartz and granite. The granite won out because of personal preference on looks, but either one would be a great choice. I haven't found the maintenance to be a big deal. You are supposed to seal it once a year, which is really easy. Just wipe the stuff on, let it sit for awhile, when wipe it off. Our contractor also recommended a granite polish to be used occasionally which is kind of like pledge dust wax. You spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes then buff off with a soft dry cloth. I've used it once in six months, just to give it a little extra shine. We do put hot pots on it with no problem.
