Hm... I see a lot of comments that begs to differ. A lot of comments concerning costs. I don't see any negative responses at all. I see a lot of personal opinions, that said, the OP is basically looking for feedback and getting it. How about everyone post their kitchens if they want it criticized by different opinions on a public forum.
