So crew just left after setting counter tops. They had a lot of very special tools. I considered setting it myself but the risk reward ratio did not pencil out. I figured sure as heck I would screw up a pricey piece of stone. I really like them. Now I get to plumb and wire appliances. Take me six maybe seven beers tops! Hah!
One thing my sister and I have in common is preference in kitchen counter tops. Some are difficult to see "clean" especially the speckled Formicas and such. Ours are stark white and koolaid will stain it but... when its clean you know its clean.
What you have does look nice and shouldn't be too hard to keep clean.
