The quality of your writing speaks for itself. No need to respond to it.

You have your head up your ass. you have no real knowledge about granite
but I'm sure you have plenty of pledge for your Formica. People like you
just spout out with half ass information and hear say get the facts right.
Where are you getting your information the cheap *******s buying guide.

I am not cheap. When I do a kitchen I install Glacier White Corian. It is
as expensive as granite, and can be even more expensive than cheap
granites.

I found this comparison from a company that sells both Corian and granite.
The only thing where the granite beats Corian is scratch resistance. And it
ties in heat resistance. For everything else Corian is better.
