Help me decide please… cast iron or fireclay kitchen sink?

Our house was built in 1984 and the enamel kitchen sink still looks great. If it gets scuffed up at all a little barkeepers friend makes it look good as new. My mom has always had enamel kitchen sinks, and none have ever stained. Stainless steel looks too commercial to me.

OP here- keep it coming. I’m having to pick everything and just decided against Kohler faucets. Expensive and beautiful but I couldn’t get over the hollow plastic on the sprayer. It looked and sounded cheap. I want the kohler cast iron sink that has a 60/40 split and am debating between that and a fireclay one from another company that has the same configuration. I like both because they have a low divider between the bowls. I just don’t want to be scrubbing the sink for scuffs every day but if you knick a cast iron one, it sounds like a pain.

I have a Kohler white farmhouse enameled cast iron sink. We did a kitchen renovation a year ago and previously I had a stainless steel sink. I love my new sink. I think it looks more luxurious than my old stainless steel sink.

It does get "scuff" marks but as others have said, a little Bar Keepers friend (or I've also used baking soda) gets the marks out. I did panic the first time I saw the marks, thinking my brand new sink was already ruined. But five minutes later, it looked brand new.
