"Joseph, from what i have gathered different companies have a differing amount of quartz to resin impacting the look and durability. but does that really make one better over the other and justify such a price difference?"
They tinker with their formulas, but it's essentially the same thing, however, Cambria does not tinker with its prices. They have seen that there is no business to be had competing against Vietnam and China on price and they aren't going to play their game.
Cambria is successfully building a brand. They've got very good service, stay on top of quality control, and lead the industry with designs and colors. If that's worth something to you, pay up. As a businessperson, I admire this strategy.
