Could you ask the salesperson to qualify his/her statement about the one being better? Look at smaller details: corners, edges, silent close, overlay, wood type....do all of these match up with the two brands? What is the overall cost of the remodel....will 5K make a big impact to your budget or is it just a drop in the bucket? Remember, the cabinets are potentially the most important feature in your kitchen: you will see them from every angle every day! Good luck.
