I just spent the last 14 months having my house torn down to studs and foundation, then rebuilt. Hope to never do it again.
I bought Ubatuba engineered granite, which cost a little over 5500 installed. This included a single and a double bathroom vanity (which I posted in the creative endevours forum somewhere around New Year's since I added a bunch of fixtures and was happy with the result).
Here's a shot of the kitchen:

I used Sanford & Hawley for my cabinets and granite. They were very easy to work with and no one could beat their price for granite.
