So we're going to put up with a little extra maintenance (we've had granite before and know what that entails) to get the extra beauty. But everybody has different needs and tastes.
Depending upon the level of granite you buy, the price can vary greatly, granite is typically substantially cheaper than quartz and the maintenance is far less. Remember, putting something hot on a man-made surface is not recommended where something hot on stone creates much less of a problem.
