You may be surprised as to how little there is in the price difference. Black granites such as black galaxy require no sealing and are much more scratch and heat resistant than engineered stone. I was almost ready to order an essastone bench top when the stonemason brought me a large piece of black galaxy and put it side by side. He then took to it and the essastone lightly with a stanley knife. One scratched the other left no mark. The shine and colour of the granite was far nicer. Glad he did it as we instantly changed our preference. As far as keeping then clean just a wipe with a damp and dry cloth after is all it takes.
