Caesarstone - mitred or butt joint waterfall ends?

Page 1 of 1
Mitred joint looks more seamless and modern but heard it's more prone to cracks due to movement.

Butt joint looks more traditional.

Any other pros and cons of both joints?

I have never had one mitred join crack in over 20 years of building kitchens! If it cracks its because it hasn't been installed correctly.

No real pros or cons other than I think a butt joint looks awful and that corners have been cut!
Mitre is the way to go. Look so much better no doubt about it.
