Indian sandstone or concrete paving type (fake)

Just getting a couple of quotes for about 6 Square metres of paving stones to cover front door steps. first guy suggested natural Indian sandstone , the second guy recommended the concrete type that was similar to the Indian sandstone about half the cost of the Indian stone he said.
The second guy showed me a sample of the concrete type buff/yellow color 35mm thick. must admit it looked good to me.
not been quoted any prices yet.
Any thoughs on this regarding Quality, wearability, (is that a word) colour fade and costing ect. Thanks Paul.

No contest really you can not inprove the natural stone. The concrete type will fade after a while where the real thing will only get better with time. As for prices the indian stone will work out a bit more expensive but will out last the man made stuff .Hope this helps. S/S
