Im putting in a new kitchen with just plain ole laminate counter tops. I would like to go with a black sink to match the black appliances. I think i have narrowed it down to Moens Moenstone Granite Sink. Home Depot has quoted me $359 for the sink, but they also have another sink in stock made by a company called Pegasys. The pegasys sink has the same makeup 80% Granite and 20% Acrylic. When i first saw the sink on display it looked great. I went back a week later and someone had managed to scratch the sink with a key it appeared. Against my better judgment i lightly ran a key across the same area that was already damaged and it did leave a white scratch mark. The pegasys sink is $199 at Home Depot, but if it scratches that easily it isn't worth even considering. My concern is that the Moenstone sink has the same makeup of 80% Granite and 20% Acrylic and does their manufacturing process yield a more durable sink than the ultra cheap Pegasys? Moen certainly has a better recognized name but? Anyone have a Moenstone Granite sink or maybe the Pegasys that can share their experience?
Thanks
