Default what is a good garbage disposal for stainless steel sinks?

Heard that stainless steel sinks cannot sustain heavy garbage disposals
and may make the disposal more noisy. I am considering either a
InSinkErator Evolution Compact which is listed at 20 pounds or a
WasteKing L3300 that is spec at 12.4 pounds. Both are 3/4 HP which is
fine for our needs. I'm wondering if the sink can withstand the 20 pound
InSinkErator weight. Sink is 16 gauge thick. Any experiences on mounting
and noise considerations?



I have a big Kitchen Aid in my SS sink. No problem with weight or
noise. ISE is made by the same parent company and is a good brand also.
No experience with Waste King. Most disposals have easy mount systems
too so installation is not a big deal
