The custom builders are not pushed like the mass produced get your quota done and go home. I went through the New Horizon plant in Junction City Kansas. The difference was very interesting. I talked to the cabnet builder and some other workers along with the owner. The draw back is most people cannot afford to spend that much money. The frames and the welds were very nice. Being able to sit down and pick every aspect of the build was a plus as well. I would not mind a used New Horizon or Excel with hickory interior.
