I've had my kitchen for several years, and I wish we would have kept the stainless steel sink. coffee and tea stain the sink. It seems like I am cleaning it all the time! And if I have red beets to can, forget it. Get the bleach out. I'm also not all that hepped up about the flat surface stove top. If you don't cook, it doesn't get dirty. That takes a special cleaner, too. When everything is all put away and surfaces cleaned, I love my kitchen.
