We expected about a 350-400 increase because of the island we put in, but thats it.
I have no problem and I guess I can understand the whole deal. I just have never heard of that in any other field or any other industry. It seemed odd to me. Oh well, live and learn.

Yep, that is the way it is - weird as it sounds. My wife's cousin did our countertops last year and he charged us his price for the whole slab. They will most likely never use the leftover piece unless someone has a small job and wants that color, that's why I suggested a bathroom vanity or something else. You'll see that there's variations in slabs of granite, even within the same color - the graining may be more pronounced in one vs. another, or may have more crystal deposits, so it's tough to match unless you're working with one whole slab.
