You must consider this sink!  After investing in a new granite countertop, I wanted to have a functional yet beautiful sink that wouldn't clash with it.  I chose this one - one of the reviewers was spot on - with the drain over to the side I can now soak the Thanksgiving turkey pan and have easy access to the drain/disposal - so convenient!  The matte finish is perfect - has a rich feel to it, and doesn't look spotty when dry!
