To my surprise the quote came considerably less than the kit set stuff and gave me a lot more and better made cabinets etc. Plus of course I had none of the work to do.
Things may be different now.

One of the interesting things that happened was that I also got a quote from a welknown and very expensive manufacturer, who sent a glorious looking upper class female who I doubted knew anything about joinery. I tested her by saying I wasn't sure wether to install a couple of 4 by 2s or a RSJ where a kitchen wall had to be opened up.
She gave me a withering look and told me that they had a subsidury that dealt with the cheaper jobs and I should ask them.
