Any (Long Term) Experiences with Zenith/Tufnol/Trespa (Solid/Compact Laminate) Worktops?

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has fitted Zenith or Tufnol or Trespa (Solid / Compact Laminate) Countertops and has been using it for a few years now?! (I know it looks wonderful once it's fitted, but I wonder how it performs after it's been used).
Are there any complaints (after a few years of usage) for
- marks/scratches on the top
- chips/breakage on the edges
- problems with undermount sinks
- problems with drainer grooves in the worktop
- or any kind of problems/complaints/regrets in the long run?!
I don't see many "Long Term" reviews,
and I don't know if this is because this is a good product and there are now problems with it
- or because there is some issue with it and most people choose a different kind of countertop to install..
Thx in advance!
P.S.: In some places this type of worktop is also called HPL or TUFNOL or TRESPA:
12.5mm thin, Zenith is made up of a black core created from layers of kraft paper impregnated with PHENOLIC RESIN, a decorative paper is then placed on either side along with an overlay paper and impregnated with melamine resin to create a durable, waterproof and stylish worksurface.

By the was, it's the Cadeira Zenith Worktop (from Worktop-Express) what we strongly consider,
But I don't see many "Long Term" reviews,
and I don't know if this is because this is a good product and there are now problems with it
- or because there is some issue with it and most people choose a different kind of countertop to install..
