Eased edge is considered standard where I live and it is the cheapest. We did an eased edge on LG solid surface and on Cambria and was charged nothing extra. Chipping wasn't mentioned but I guess time will tell.

"Would it be a mistake to go for a flat countertop profile? Will it be more prone to chips?"

Yes and yes.

Depending on what tooling they have, you could shoot for a 1/8" bevel - that would keep the flatish look you're going for but mitigate the chipping. I think...

That's what we ended up with on our counters and I think it looks fine. I also wanted the eased edge but was worried about dings.

True, and chips in a bevel are particularly easy to fix.

great advice. Am going to their shop to discuss, and will see what options they suggest. Many thanks.

we have "demi-bullnose", which i think on your chart is "radius".

we love it and so far, 3yrs in, have no chips. i think it give the counter a chunky, thicker look and u see more of the counter than a squared off edge.
no where for dirt to accumulate and easy to brush crumbs in trash can.

no up-charge for this edge in my area.... NE

good luck!!!
