There was enough support from our kitchen cabinets up north to hold the extra weight of the soapstone countertops (second level, tile floor), but they were solid oak cabinets. The problem was the slabs were smaller, and we would have had seams. We went with granite for no seams.

Silestone looked a bit too manufactured for our taste. But my former neighbor was able to put quartz (or is it quartzite) in her Premier, and it really looks good.
Vinegar will discolor granite, even if the granite is sealed. I learned that the hard way. I don't know about nail polish remover. I usually just leave nail polish on until it comes off itself.
