too many choices

I read a book last year called The Paradox of Choice--Why More is Less by Barry Schwartz. The premise is that though we assume that more choice is a better thing, too many choices actually lead to less satisfaction and more stress and anxiety. He could write a chapter (or maybe a sequel) about kitchen remodeling...I would be an excellent case study. Although I had given up on the vintage sink idea and thought I would just choose a new sink, it was easier said than done. Trying to find the right sink--finding the right style in the right size at the best price with the best quality was quite a balancing act. I still haven't figured it out. I think Dr. Schwartz could apply his ideas to shopping on Froogle or ebay very easily, again using me as a case study. I have clicked on hundreds of sinks....ebay, Home Depot, Lowes, a variety of plumbing supply stores, and who knows where else...still haven't had that "aha" moment. I also haven't figured out what to compromise on to just make a decision and get on with it....smaller size but the perfect style? bigger size but not quite what we were looking for? good size and style but too expensive? (What is it about sinks? How much can a piece of metal bent into a bowl shape cost to make? When I first started looking, I was immobilized by sticker shock.) Again, I was almost longing for the good old days when you would just buy what your plumber had and that was it.....no decision necessary. I'll continue the search--the good thing about Froogle is that I can shop on my couch in my pjs while drinking tea and eating cookies and watching TV--nothing like multitasking to distract you from how indecisive you really are!
