I think I might switch to bisque next time around, if bisque is even available in 2020-2030. Probably not. Stainless will be the new BOL and some weird color/finish/material will take its place. I think I want to go for a premium 1990's look, complete with track lighting, light oak cabinets and white tile countertops. Yes, I want to make my kitchen look like it's right out of 1997 in 2030.
Of course that would be like someone installing avocado appliances, marigold laminate countertops and patterned linoleum in the year 2000, but I'm getting bored with the typical 2010 look of my kitchen, even though I updated it from its original builder-grade early-2000's design in 2014.
One thing is for certain. I will never buy black stainless, slate or fingerprint resistant stainless. I'm not confident that any of those finishes will hold up. As for black stainless, there was a Samsung fridge with it at Lowe's and the lacquer was peeling away from a scratch near the handle. I later learned that black stainless is lacquered, as is slate and fingerprint resistant.
