I've owned three homes with Corian kitchen counters and really like it. In two of the homes, I chose it and had it installed, including in my current.
In addition to it being a solid and seamless surface, I really like the integrated sink. No seams there either and you just wipe water or crumbs from the counter right into the sink - no lip in the way. Nice!
One thing to be aware of is that pouring boiling or very hot water into the sink can cause little hairline cracks. So, when you make pasta, etc. you'll want to manage how you drain the pasta. Talk to the store about the best way. Also, some people are rough on counters and it can get small scratches but, they can be buffed out. I've never has to do that because I use lots of cutting boards.
For me, it was worth the extra money.
