These sinks are Amazing!  Note that they are apron sink’s so the front of it is shorter than the inside of the sink, so will fit with your existing cabinets. Easy install  look fantastic.  I bought a brown one  a white one as I remodeled 2 kitchens. With the brown one I would definitely get the matching drainsstrainers, but with the white one I bought silver drains, as I thought the white would show more dirt in that area. Love love love them!  I think I would go with the darker sink if you have a choice!  Note that they are apron sinks so the front of it is shorter than the inside of the sink. Norte You CAN drill holes for faucetsoap thru your sink durround  counters if needed.  If you go outside the Undermount area of the sink, the faucet and the soap would be too far away.
