I had the same questions when we were going through the phase where my husband insisted on a farmhouse sink (he then moved on to stainless). We ended up deciding that the Kohler cast iron would be the way to go for us - I just couldn't imagine all the men in my house being careful enough for fireclay and the Kohler had a lifetime warranty. I didn't like the lip on the only quartz farmhouse I found.

But... I also found a $550 fireclay sink from Marvel with a great offset drain. It comes with a lifetime warranty too. So I felt like that was a good option. I could afford to replace it in 10 years if I had to at half the price of the Kohler.

I have the Mitrani Titan Quartz sink, and it has been installed for almost a year and a half, and so far, so good. It has faint scratches on the bottom, but I can't really see them unless I am looking for them, and it is a breeze to keep clean. It does have that smooth feel kind of like Corian, so keep that in mind.

If there are any stains, I usually make a light paste with Comet, and they come off easily. I use Comet on the sink about once a week, and I use this gel gloss spray on it periodically.

Here's a pic of mine installed. (Before we put the doors on)

Mine does have a garbage disposer attached to it, but the disposer is supported by a block of wood underneath, as I am paranoid about vibrations of it causing stress cracks.

Shelayne -

What color is your Mitrani sink? I am looking at a few that are priced under $500 in the metallic white color. Your sink is gorgeous!

Thank you, ktclcik, my sink is white. It is just a basic white. I am going to have to check out the metallic white--that was not an option when I ordered mine, but I am definitely intrigued!

My sink is also reversible. I thought the fluting would be better at hiding any scratches the sink might get--thinking big honking belt buckles, etc. The other side is smooth, with sort of a rim/lip/edge thing on the top. (Why can't I think of the right word? LOL)
