If you do use Solid Stone, will be very interested to hear your opinion. Our list of projects after purchase is being slowly whittled down, and kitchen countertop replacement is rising toward the next position. Had Corian (kitchen & bath) in previous house up north for 20+ yrs w/no problems so very interested. You might check if they would make you matching cutting boards from the sink excision. My contractor did as a free bonus, and I kept them by the stove to put hot pots on and never had an issue with damage from the pot bottom. Don't know if today's Corian is made by the same process as in 1998, but that stuff was tough, beautiful, and hard to mar. - and if you managed it, buffing out worked.
