The guy who measured for the counter top didn't mention any options or
give any choices. Our neighbor has a granite counter and her sink is
flush.

The measuring guy took the template that came with the sink.
I did call the sink manufacturer and was told that there would be no
problem installing the sink flush if that is what we wanted so it's
not a matter of incorrect installation vrs correct.

I still think the guy who measured should have given me the option of
flush with the granite since I never even considered that there would
be another way to do it (which is why I'm starting to get annoyed when
people say I should have requested it... I never thought there was
more than one way it would be done and NOT this way!).

To make you feel better about it, if you have to revert to a top mount
for your sink, it is probably somewhat more sanitary, since there are
no overhanging ledges that are difficult to clean.
