I was the original poster, and we ended up with color-matched outlets just under the overhang of the island. Unless you are looking for them, totally hard to see, but also I've found them to be quite convenient as a central place to plug in the vacuum -- the cord reaches the entire great room from there.
I am SO glad we didn't put it on the ends, put it on the cabinet side, or worse, have to cut into my gorgeous countertop to put in an outlet.
Interesting that NO outlets is now an option too. What a drastic shift from that formula requiring a number of outlets based on sq/footage.
