Putting aside our personal likes, the fact is that the two tier counters are dated. For your personal use it doesn't matter, but when it comes to resale the two tier cabinets scream "dated kitchen". Why You Should Avoid Double-Tiered Kitchen Countertops
I agree with the fact that there is more cabinet space with a one level counter top. Usually, isn't there access to cabinets on both sides of the island because the cabinets are as deep as the slab counter top? I looked at the article you linked. Yes, the slab counter top is certainly the new modern look. But.......it will never be for me. I adore the dated look and even more importantly, the function, of the two tier counter tops. I'm old so I'm dated too. LOL.
