My fabulous new Blanco sink arrived, and I now see what they meant by "mirror polish." Wow, that thing is shiny. I was expecting a stainless finish that looked more brushed, which is what I've always had before.

I'm sure it will be fine (well, it sort of has to be!), but I'm in that self-doubting phase. Can anyone report on their general satisfaction with "mirror polish" finishes on a kitchen sink? I suppose I can always send it back if all reports come back sounding like a nightmare, but hopefully I am just being my old nervous self.

Oh, and I guess this leads to a second question: brushed or shiny finish on the faucet?? I was planning on brushed, which I prefer for several reasons, but I'm not sure how it will look next to all this shine.... (Pictures, please?)
