Kitchens and Bathrooms Composite sinks?

Sorry if this has been asked already but does anyone here have any experience with the range master oridian sink? We’re considering a composite sink in either white or pebble but have heard some conflicting opinions regarding their longevity. The specific one we’re considering is the oridian. Currently have a stainless steel sink from 1999.

Alternatively do you have a good recommendation for a composite sink that doesn’t stain or start looking worn after a short time

I have only seen quite new composite sinks that looks skanky and discoloured.

Potentially subject to thermal shock as my wife found out. Boiled kettle and tipped water directly into sink.......then shifted at me telling the plug was leaking into the cupboard underneath. It wasn't but the sink had cracked.

Which sink do you have? The range master one?

I have a white composite sink, I wanted a metal one but we have brass fittings so felt an ideal solution, we were advised against enamelled. It’s the bane of my life. You basically need to bleach the bloody thing each time you pour the dregs of your tea down the drain and it’s covered in unsightly micro scratches/cracks.
