Need kitchen sink help!

last year

We are doing an IKEA kitchen in a house from 1926 with a small 10x9 kitchen with three entryways, so there is little room for cabinetry and a dishwasher. We are using the 30" sink cab. I know JC will say you can mount any 30" sink in a 30" cab but I'm hesitant to ask my contractor to cut the cabinetry. I know the Kohler Whitehaven would fit, but I can't unsee some of the really negative reviews. Are there any other recommendations for a 30" sink that is recommended for a 30" cabinet? Sadly, the Elkay Quatz Luxe doesn't come in 30". I'm 95% of the way to just going with the Kohler but it scares me to spend $2000 on a sink only to possibly have to spend another $2000 to have it replaced if it breaks (I'm in Canada, hence the high prices). I'd love to do stainless but it won't go with the overall look and feel - the counters are soapstone, faucet us polished nickel and knobs are unlaquered brass - unless someone has a darker steel they can recommend? I'm open to any suggestions before we commit to the Kohler! Or if you have a whitehaven and love it, reassure me it's the right choice!
