We just put in caesarstone 4 months ago. Love it! We got the honed finish, which comes with a warning about extra upkeep. But we have had no trouble at all -- although I suppose if you like to let your spills sit around for several days, rather than wipe them up each evening, it might be an issue.

Unlike everyone else I don't have anything to say about the hood, but I want to give an enthusiastic recommendation for Bosch ranges. I've been using it for 4 months since we finished the gut renovation of our apartment last year, and I absolutely adore it...of course I came from a rental apartment that had the world's crappiest cheap range, so just having a range that can actually maintain a simmer is heaven. We sprang for the model with the temperature probe, and have been enjoying perfectly roasted meats ever since. I'm also in a coop where we couldn't vent outside, but we have upper cabinets over the range...we put in an over-the-range microwave and haven't had any major venting issues so far.
