Good luck, and I do not mean that meanly. It is just flat expensive... but worth it.
We have had both. Lived aboard with the galleyware stuff you describe. Absolutely loved it, but did not see the point of the non-skid since we didn't actually eat out of plates like that underway. Then on the next boat got cheap and bought cheap plastic stuff. Felt like I was camping out. Then Kris (my wife) threw that in the picnic basket and we bought some corelle? (sp???). My experience with it was not as positive as Eryka's. You see, I explained to my wife that corelle was a good substitute for the expensive stuff (Galleyware) and was not easily breakable and good for a boat. She explained we had kids. I said it was worth the risk. I cannot remember if it was the third or fourth broken plate/bowl, but she got her way and we got the good stuff. In all fairness though, I am not sure I actually saw any of the kids break the stuff so I have been concerned that I might have been hoodwinked by a restless wife and a late night excursion.
So what do you take out of that? I will always have the Galleyware stuff and the corelle did not work for us - but we tried. Not to counter Eryka because she and LASM give great advice on this board... they just don't have my boys I guess (or my wife who hates to lose an argument!!).

PS Check with Sailnet and see if they can swing you a deal. Their prices have become quite competitive on many things. Next stop, if that does not work would be Defender. Last stop, West. The positive of West, though, is that you can see the many different designs and buy what you like.
