I did discuss building a cabinet to hold the sink with a
cabinet builder. The sink has a slightly rolled edge that
could be suspended on a cabinet.
My decision was based on what the cabinet would cost me vs.
what the frame costs. I'm not a carpenter, and though I can
build "sturdy" things, they don't show much finesse, and
usually end up costing more than I wanted them to.
If you do get the frame, I recommend getting some silicone
sealant and using it to fasten the sink to the frame.

No need to post photos of your sink, Eric (though others may
want to
see?). I have a pretty good idea of what my sink ought to
look like.
A question for those of you who have used the Delta sinks:
Would it
be practical to use a home-built support (probably 2x4
verticals and
1x4 rails along the sides) to set it on? Or is it designed
in such a
way that it really needs the custom metal support that Delta
makes?
