UPDATE: So we went with a quartz called Arabescato from Vicostone. We used Countertop Depot in Guelph, Ontario. They did a fantastic job with install and we absolutely love the stone. The installer also loves this product and company and recommends them. In the US Vicostone also has a colour called Calacatta but it's not available in Canada for some reason. We are happy with the Arabescato. It is really white, more so then true marble but that's what we love about it. The large veins are a warm grey beige colour (more on the grey side of things). Highly recommend!!! Oh and as mentioned in an earlier post in this thread it was half the price of the Compaq Unique Calacatta.
