I've not shopped for sinks so I don't have any specifics, but yes, there are
differences in grades of stainless steel. Some are more durable than
others, will hold a shine better, have better finish and better attention to
detail. Take a very good look at the details and you may find that one is
superior. Is it one piece deep drawn or is it welded from pieces? Are
the radii smooth? Does it have sound deadening? The no name may be just as
good, but be sure it really is. Your wife will be living with it for many
years and you have to live with her.
