Remodeling kitchen Why expensive cabinets and not Kraftmaid?

Hope I got this in the correct forum. Can someone please explain to me WHY I should go for expensive cabinets and not Kraftmaid in our (new to us) house? We remodeled our cabin a couple years ago and I used Kraftmaid cabinets - love them and the many options available.

We bought a house and are planning a major remodel (house is for us for many years, not for resale). Not saying this to be braggy but to better explain my dilemma - the house is a very nice house in what is called a fancy neighborhood. When I tell people I plan to use Kraftmaid cabinets they look at me like I have 2 heads - I guess it is just expected that expensive cabinets would be used in that quality of house and neighborhood.

I just don't get it. I'm not trying to be cheap but I just can't see the difference in the Kraftmaid ones versus the real expensive ones.

What am I missing? What am I not seeing?
