I agree that you have to keep granite very clean to avoid it looking
smeared and this is a slight disadvantage, but I still think its the
best worksurface avaliable. I'm interested in the idea of using tiles
on the worksurface. I'd alwas thought tht the grout would become dirty
and discolour over time. Is this a problem?

Yes. Tiles looks awful after only a short time.

And regular tiles are very fragile. If you were to put a pan or
something down heavily it would most likely crack the tiled surface.
Then you'd have to replace/regrout the whole lot (you can never
satisfactorily regrout a small area).
