Hi I may be misunderstanding your question but...If you want the sink flush with the counter, you just mount it further back. It is up to the individual homeowner how far out to mount the sink. Some people go out up to 4 inches, others mount it flush. I chose for my farm sink to be flush with the doors in the cabinet below so it protrudes one inch. For a contemporary look, I would suggest a square corner instead of a radius corner. I also think the stainless farm sink would be great for your application. One other thing, I have found splashing to be more prevalent with a farm sink vs an undermount. If the sink is really flush with the cabinets, water may end up going inside the doors. I have to wipe down my cabinets often because the water splashes down the front of the sink. Just something to keep in mind.

Hops, thanks for responding! I really like your sink and other elements in your kitchen! I'm glad you shared the photos with me. I do like how the bump out looks, and the pretty feet too! Anybody else willing to comment or share your photos about the bump out? I'd like to see photos of famhouse sinks without the bump out too. Thanks, Terry

I'm not a fan of a sink with an upper over it. I think you need to stand too close to the front of the door, no matter what. But if you are determined to do that, then by all means I would consider using a farm sink and bumping it out. That means setting it proud (forward) of the front of the sink cabinets and the adjacent base cabinets. I have this arrangement (my sink cabinet is bumped out as well) and it makes working at the sink extremely comfortable because I get farther over it. The trick is in the selection of the sink. The classic Rohl fireclays are the same all the way around. The sink on the floor upthread is the same. But some farm sinks have notches on the side to fit against the cabinet fronts. Some have a flange. Before you choose/buy it's important to figure out how you want the sink to look and then choose one that will do what you wish. There are so many choices, even in SS it shouldn't be a problem. One factor is whether you prefer a 0 radius sink (square corners) or a more traditional sink with rounded corners. How far you want the sink to protrude -- mine stick out 2 inches in front of the cabinet. One sink upthread has the curved front and doesn't protrude much. Etc. Lots of photos on the link plus a farm-sink installation tutorial that will explain the general concept. Here is a link that might be useful: Farm Sink Gallery

I don't have pics handy at the moment, but in my last house we had a 33" copper apront-front farmhouse sink. We also have a slightly smaller copper apron-front farmhouse sink in the temp house we're living in now (we are currently building). Both of the aforementioned sinks are flush mount installation. I personally like the look better than an undermount installation, and it really sets off the sink nicely. I will say that wiping crumbs into the sink is not as easy or as tidy. Taking all this into account, I am doing the same installation in our new house. I just think it looks so purty. Hope that helps a bit.
