Any Recommendations for a 2 bedder unit, Lenah Valley??

I have a new Ceaserstone kitchen i am putting into a reno. I am going for a modern finish as it is in a premium location (even though 2 bedder unit). But, do you think it is worth paying an extra $300-$400 for a square double sink for the modern look - considering it might be outdated...
