I like #2 :-)

- I would not pick the Houzer. Blanco makes a better granite composite sink with its Silgranit proprietary technology.

- If I were going to have a large single-bowl Silgranit sink, I'd get the BlancoDiamond Super Single instead. It is the same dimensions as the Blanco Precis you've pictured, but it has the corner drain, which is great. The corner drain allows you to set down large pots and pans to soak and still not cover the drain. It means that your disposal under the sink is to the side which makes storage under the sink easier.

- I love Blanco Silgranit sinks, and have had several of them in different houses, but always a darker color. I don't recommend the white or biscuit colors you show. Here's why. Because I think my Silgranit sink is the easiest sink I've ever had, I recommended it to my friend. She heard my enthusiasm, and bought one for her kitchen, but she bought it in the white color. She finds it very hard to keep looking clean. She showed me how easily it stains from coffee and wine, and also how difficult it is to keep looking clean and get those stains out. I feel terribly guilty, but how could I have known that the white color would behave so differently from the anthracite color. After seeing first-hand my friend demonstrate the easy staining and the difficult cleaning of the white color, I cannot recommend it. I would absolutely though buy another Silgranit sink in a darker color (like anthracite, cafe brown, gray, cinder or truffle) without hesitation because of my great experiences with them.

To look at other Silgranit colors in your home, you can call Blanco's customer service telephone number to ask them to send you samples.

Blanco in their silvery gray color would work well.

Here's an 8-year old white Blanco sink with stains. I beat it to death and installed stainless steel:

She hated that sink.

Thank you, this is helpful. I'm doing a two-tone kitchen off-white/grey (bottom) (IKEA Bodbyn), I'm think very light/white quartz countertop (as we don't have a lot of natural light in the kitchen)... so was hoping to do a white sink to make things brighter, but might have to reconsider now. :/
