Was planning to install a Blanco Silgranit II sink in my very soon to be renovated kitchen. But just came across Consumer Reports' July 2012 issue which strongly recommends avoiding granite composite sinks entirely because of severe problems with cracking encountered during their testing process. They make a point of saying they didn't even bother including them in their ranking. I've read many positive reviews of these sinks but can only imagine the huge cost of having to remove and replace an undermount sink. I need something reasonably priced and durable that will fit in a cottage style kitchen.
