I have wondered about these issues myself. No one seems to mention the solid surface quartz available. I don't think it is any cheaper than granite, but has more of a shine than Corian. The sink I have here, in Illinois, is black granite and I love it. I hardly ever see it anywhere but I got it from home Depot and it doesn't scratch or show any stains or water spots. It has a matte finish and looks great with a granite countertop with black in it. I never see it as an option. Wonder why? It wasn't expensive, and they told me they had No complaints about it. There are things I don't like about stainless sinks and also porcelain and corian, and I have had all three. I like this granite best.
