I wouldn't do it... By the time you pay to have them cut, the cost difference would be much smaller than the materials cost, and you'd always know you settled. Plus, if the cuts are anything less than PERFECT you'll be able to see it easily, meaning you need a *really good* tile guy with a *brand new* blade and a high quality tile saw. Again, costing more than most other 'merely good' tile guys who could do a nice job on a simple backsplash without a lot of unnecessary cuts. I'd try to either feel the love for the Adex 2x8 (a really nice tile, by the way) or figure out the total dollar cost difference for the WZ (my personal favorite tile, bar none, and the ONE place in my kitchen remodel where I refused to scrimp) and learn to live with it. One thing I know about the WZ -- If you can scrape up the money (and I know, not everyone can) -- it's one decision you will never regret, and will find joy in every day.

Hi, there, I am planning to use the 2x6 tiles. I think it will look like the show Borthers and Sisters' kitchen backsplash. Hopefully this helps. Here is a link that might be useful: Nora's kitchen

I am also faced with a problem of "matching" kitchen floor to dining room floor. One option I am thinking about is putting a border around the rim of the kitchen floor (may be kind of tricky with an island) using tiled wood or porcelain (or cork) , and then doing anything I want with wood or wood-look tiles or cork or porcelain inside the border. A herring bone parquet look is on my radar. This plan will end up with a sort of mosaic look. Seems like the options are wide-open as to what shades to use but I think making it a monotone will not work (at least not for me). The border should be a stark clear contrast, almost looking like a rug and inside hopefully might use some tiles (not all) that would resemble in color the dining room floor. I haven't definitely decided and won't for quite a while but I like to catch anything that looks like this. Here's a standard parquet that shows the idea: https://www.houzz.com/photos/carnegie-hill-residence-traditional-hall-new-york-phvw-vp~204871-Hill-Residence-traditional-hall-new-york Here is a link that might be useful: [parquet floor example[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/carnegie-hill-residence-traditional-hall-new-york-phvw-vp~204871)

think it depends on size of your kitchen - but 6 x6 sounds really large. can you show us pics?
