Saw the Kohler cast iron farmhouse sink today in the store as well as the undermount cast iron sink. The farmhouse display was chipped… not great for what they are trying to sell. For those of you that have this sink, how easy is it to chip?

Kohler cast iron sink
I bought a 27" undermount (NOT a farmhouse) Kohler Riverby cast iron sink to be installed with my granite countertop (thick slab, 36" cabinet) . While ordering the granite, the sales person said they will use 2x4s to support the sink and it won't be pretty. I'm afraid they will ruin my new sink base. How are these heavy cast iron sinks installed? They have my new sink, and I assume they will drill and dry fit the clips. Do they need to build some sort of a support while installing it? The base of the cabinet (or any cabinet) would not support a vertical 2x4 pressing down with 300 pounds, and I don't like the idea of a bunch of 2x4s nailed into my new cabinet. What is the process?
I saw a company that makes metal supports that adjust up and down. Not sure why installers won't use these instead http://sinkmount.com. Fabricators, what is your method for installing these heavy cast iron sinks? Would you use these metal supports if the customer supplied them?
