Hi Ben, When I was building my darkroom about 3 years ago, I was pondering the same question as you are with regard to the sink. Should I buy the Delta sink, (which was 4 feet long I believe), or make my own to fit the 5 foot space that I had. As it turned out, someone was selling a 5 foot homemade sink on ebay at the time, and he was located just a few miles from me heere in New Jersey. What a lucky break. My point is that I am glad I have the larger sink. I use every inch of it. Although I could have made the smaller Delta sink work, it's better to have as large a sink as possible. (I'm assuming you have a limited space to begin with, as I did). My advice is to build the larger sink. You'll be glad to have that extra 8 or 9 inches. The cost savings is nice too.
