When I did my kitchen over, I questioned whether to put an 8" or 12"
overhang on my peninsula. I went with 12" and I'm glad I did.
Unfortunately in your case your going to have to bite the bullet and
ante up for a new slab of granite. Do not do a patch job like you
described, it will not look nice. Theres a right way to do things and
a wrong way.
When you put in a new piece of granite, you'll forget about the $900
and enjoy the kitchen.

Or you can live with the 9" overhang.

Oh, good grief. A free post would have saved the OP bigtime. Without
getting too long and risking cracking, overhangs should be as big as
possible. Both for the comfort of people sitting there in the future, but
also for stool storage, and a dozen other reasons I can't think of right
now. And at the time of initial construction, cheap, cheap, cheap, even if
you want one that will require a 4x4 cantilever.

Yup, either bite the bullet or live with it. And learn from it, which I
don't need to say............
