I think if you look at "refacing", you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Hey, Formica comes in other patterns. LOL!

In any case, you live in a metropolitan area. Granite is now sold in
2'x8' lengths which include a finished edge. If you spend $300 for
the slab, that's expensive. Cuts for the sink are only $100. It's
possible now to buy slabs that are finished on 3 sides and finishing
off the 4th won't cost very much. Look around, it won't cost you
anything!
