Did you check Silestone? Yes $65-$89 a square foot. Damn you Aaron! Took the wife over and guess what she picked out! I think you called her and told you. Silestone Coffee Brown 24 sq ft $1800.96 and $310.00 to cut the sink hole. Silestone is nice. Zero maintenance required. Most natural stones have to be sealed annually and can/will stain. Not Silestone, however. Keep your sink cut out. It makes for a nice portable work station. My granite is fantastic. But definitely keep the cut outs. I have one for my sink and one for the range. I ask the question Why am I being charged for the cut out material? Then told them since I have to pay for it, then I want it. Any Travertine is going to be expensive as it must be quarried. The shops I have been in had an overhead CNC water jet for cutting duty. The Corian on the other hand MUST be routered.
