I have two sinks -- one next to the DW in the Cleanup Zone and one across the aisle (6' aisle) in the Prep Zone. They both get used all the time -- I use the Prep Sink almost exclusively for prepping and washing hands (I do the cooking). My DH does most of the cleanup and uses the cleanup sink most of the time. My Kitchen works wonderfully for us -- it did when everyone was still home and now when we're mostly empty nesters (kids away at college). HOWEVER, if we had only one sink, even a ledge sink or a stages sink, it would not work. The cooktop, MW, and warming drawer are on one side of the Kitchen and the DW and dish storage are across the 6' aisle. If I had to run b/w them, it would not work. So, in my case, the prep sink makes my layout work. And it works as a one-person Kitchen and as a 12-person Kitchen! (12 girl scouts earned their Cooking Badge in my Kitchen -- all at the same time!) This is one example of how the layout depends on whether one or two sinks will work and whether a very large single sink (ledge or stages) will work. No one should be saying categorically "one sink" or "two sinks" -- the real answer is "it depends on the Kitchen" (layout, workflow, etc.).

This is a question for Joseph but I wiil say my piece for sure. IMO workstation sinks are not ideal the parts are too small and always affect how the rest of the sink functions , the grid on the bottom is just one more thing to clean and they get gross quickly . Get a nice large stainless undermount and but a cutting board a proper size and a stariner you store in a drawer or cabinet save a ton of monet and have much better function. BTW there is a reason enammelled cast iron went out of favor the first time you drop a heavy pot in it will be the first time you have an ugly chip, IMO a good quality stinless one bowl sink will last forever .

Purpleplume, I did not see my specific model before ordering. I believe it is a new model. I've looked at so many sinks that I imagine I did see a Ruvati sink. Because I have seen so many sinks, I knew what sort of features that I wanted so seeing my particular sink in person before ordering wasn't as big a deal as you would think. Also, there just were not many sinks that ticked off all the boxes that I wanted. That is--not zero radius, stainless steel, 16 gauge, 33" width, one basin, center drain, workstation. For example, I know that I hate zero radius sinks. The "working models" (sinks with actual water hooked up to them) that were zero radius sinks at the numerous showrooms I have visited all seemed to have gunk in the corners. So, I knew that I wanted a rounded radius corner. I could look at an internet picture and see what sort of corner the sink had without having to actually see it in person. The gauge of the sink is how thick it is. So if I know that a sink is 16 gauge, I don't have to see it actually in person to have a sense of its quality. The beauty of buying from Home Depot is that the sink was shipped to my house for free and is returnable. There are probably other stores with equally attractive selling policies. So, you can order the sink, and if you don't like it, simply return it.

Thank you for the reminder of properly undermounted. I did some research and found that improperly mounted or cut undermount sinks happens a lot, even with contractors. There is a lot of weight, with pots and water along with the sink itself, and the cutout needs to be perfect. Here is some good info for what to watch out for. What do you seal your undermount sink with? @JosephCorlett, LLC I've read about 100% silicone as well as epoxy, then silicone. https://www.tremendousrenovations.ca/single-post/2017/03/20/memo-make-sure-your-undermount-sink-is-securely-attached-to-your-granite-countertop#:~:text=Because%20of%20this%2C%20you%20do,only%20thing%20doing%20the%20work.
