maybe try a re-constituted stone for your benchtops? it may well work out cheaper, and comes in pretty much every colour you can think of.
there's a myriad of different brand names out there, but its basically different types of marble and other natural stones that have been crushed and reconstituted with an epoxy type glue and re-poured...it maybe an idea....unless you wanted to use the benchtop as an excuse for a short break :P
as for salvaging old stuff, dont give them away for free. there's always a market for people looking for bargains like this you could use that money to subsidize the 'extras' that yyou want but dont need.
p.s. make sure you check that your contract says that the salvaged material is yours. some contracts stipulate that material becomes the demolishers or builders when you hand over.
