We did this less than a year ago. Went to many - Global, Triton, Mees, Lowes, HD, Sam Kinnard's, etc. etc.
Ended up going with Granite America. Way downtown on St. Louis, several blocks south of Broadway. Low tech. No fancy laser paternning (at least at that time). But much the better price, good to work worth and we were happy with the selection and finished product. Liked the installers, too.
