Quartz and granite counter tops

First and foremost, I am going to say without a doubt that Marc Anthony is flat out wrong. You can definitely tell the difference between granite and quartz, i.e. Silestone.

I didn't say they were totally indistinguishable in every situation, I said most people couldn't tell the difference. When I've seen granite installed, what was typically chosen is the more tightly speckled, rather than the busier marbled versions; higher-end quartz can be a dead ringer for the speckled variants. In your example, you compared some high-vein natural stone against the cheapest, most vanilla looking Ceasar Stone options, which is hardly fair. Take a look at some of the speckled granites in your link—the last "Astoria", for instance—and compare it with Cambria's Quarry Collection. "Canterbury" looks pretty similar and very believable.
