We've had this sink for about 8 months now, installing it as part of a complete kitchen remodel, and I still love it. It's large, clean and modern looking. I purchased it because I wanted a large single sink bowl in with clean straight edges, and plenty of room to scrub down big pots - no more of that unnecessary separator in the middle. The grate is comes with fits perfectly, we keep it in the sink. The sink is stainless steel, so it can scratch, but ours still looks great even after heavy use. It does show water marks - I simply wipe it down. We purchased the VIGO 20 Degree Arch Pull-Out Spray Kitchen Faucet to go with this, and also installed a garbage disposal, drilling a hole in the right corner of the sink for a button to turn on the disposal - no problem. Overall, very satisfied with our purchase, especially as I couldn't find a similar product at our local big box hardware stores.
