Question about Juperano Notebo, Black Galaxy, Afri

We’re thinking of doing our kitchen in a Juperano Notebo & Black Galaxy combination or a African Fantasy Bold & Black Galaxy combo.  We would like to know if these are good Material (http://g654.org) s for kitchen use and (http://maplered.com) also how should they all compare to each other price wise?

Also, we want to do the paradisio in all the bathrooms.  Is this Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) a good choice for bathrooms?  Once again, with regards to price, how do you suppose it should compare to a santa Cecilia or tropic brown?

We think our builder/fabricator is asking way too much $$ on top of what they usually provide ?what they call a level 1 Granite (http://tanbrown.org) .

Perhaps you can suggest other less expensive Granite (http://tanbrown.org) s that have a light brown look?

Also, if we do go with the above Material (http://g654.org) s, should we have them sealed or tell them not to seal them.  I understand (http://maplered.com) that black galaxy should not be sealed?

Is there a lot of waste when it comes to fabricating Granite (http://tanbrown.org) ?

Thank you for your help,

Neha
