Every good chef needs an extra basin for the kitchen, if you're looking for an 8 inch prep sink, then this sink is a good starting point. Prep sinks do come separately, but one and a half bowl sinks are always a good idea, like this one below!

 

Why limit yourself to a one bowl sink? More sinks gives you options. Even if it is a 1 1/2 bowl ceramic sink, you still have that extra sink to store things, rinse things, drain things or soak things while the other sink is in use.

The sink below is a perfect example of one - nice, clean lines, perfect for a busy kitchen.

 

What's the point of having a 1 1/2 bowl sink? What will an extra sink provide?

This can only be answered once you've moved from a single bowl to a double bowl. The extra space allows a load of things - you can wash up, and drain vegetables in the other sink, you can use the second bowl as an outlet for waste by attaching a waste disposal unit to the drainer. Washing, rinsing, resting, draining, prepping - all can be done in the second sink. 

Sinks of this kind are a godsend for a busy kitchen!
