Baquinn, I have a different Blanco sink, but it was large too. I have the equal double bowl undermount Performa (33 by 20 and 10 inches deep). Fortunately, my GC caught the specs and so we were able to ammend the plans prior to fabrication of the cabinet and counter. We did pull the sink base cabinet forward. Initially this was supposed to be a straight counter edge, but you can see the curve we put in to accommodate the sink. I am happy we did. I really like my big sinks. The larger sinks are another favorite thing about my renovation. I hand wash a lot of items, so this sink has made the job so much easier. On another note, everybody's renovations have their fair share of setbacks and frustrations. It's never smooth sailing. It's definitely a process and it will be complete one day and you will really enjoy it! If a large sink is a priority for you, don't settle on a smaller one just for time. There will be more than one hiccup and you want to have the kitchen you really want because you are the one who will be living with whatever decisions you come to. Hang in there!

I got the medium bowl. It goes in next week. The low divide was exactly what we were looking for. I'm not sure what the advantage of the Super Single Bowl would be over the medium bowl. One thing I'm going through is the width (front-to-back) of my countertop to fit the sink. It gets quite cramped -- we are thinking of lengthening our countertop by 1 - 1.5 inches to give more room for the faucet and other accessories. I think the Super Single Bowl is 0.5 inches wider than the medium bowl -- it might be an issue (at least you need to consider the type of faucet you get so you don't hit your hand against the backsplash).

I have a stainless Kohler sink so can't comment re: your sink color, but I do have the Simplice faucet in vibrant stainless and the Kohler sink flange, which is very nice. I also ordered a drain strainer basket (that little piece that you put over the drain so water can drain but bits of food get caught in the basket) from Kohler. It's fine, but someone recently posted a much nicer one from a different mfr. It was standard size, though, so should fit your drain. It was maybe 2 inches deep, shaped kind of like a bowl with vertical sides, so it would hold much more stuff. I'm sorry I can't remember who posted it. It was too late for me.

My Blanco Siligranit sink is 1/5 years old. I started noticing multiple chips (probably a dozen) in the sink about 6 months ago. We are very careful and don't drop anything in the sink ever. We never put knives in the sink. We lay our knives on the countertop until we are ready to wash them. I do NOT believe knives have caused the chips. The sink also discolored around the drain hole within a month of installation. I dry the sink frequently and find that to be a pain. I'm disappointed in this supposedly durable sink. My daughter has an off-brand, black granite sink she had installed about 2 years ago. She has no chips at all and no discoloration. I finally gave in and bought the Blanco metal grid which cost $100. A rip-off, but I'm hopeful it MAY prevent further chipping. I have no idea how the chips could have happened since only my husband and I live here and we are both extremely careful -- with a sink -- go figure!
