Another negative for one level counters is when the sink is on the island, there's no back splash to contain the water, so it spreads on the back of the counter, which can be an issue for people sitting there. However, if you have a cooktop on the island, and have plenty of space on the back of it where people sit, this wouldn't be a problem. But I haven't seen any models with this layout (haven't seen any newer models lately anyway!). While I like the look of one level (pretty much the only plus), the two level still has plenty of room to cook and entertain, and looks great also.
