Problem would then be trying to get the cabinet door style and colours matched. Lots of different ways of going about it but I think that it would be best to have one person do the complete job. Less headaches.

A big part of the decision is how long does one plan on staying in the same house. If only for another 4 or 5 years, I'd go with the cheaper set, but if it's for a longer time, go with the better alternative. But then, I've lived in this house for years and the melamine cabinets have stood up well except for the shelves that we overload, they tend to bend downwards. Ikea, here I come for an estimate.

Farfetched, have you found someone to make your cabinets?
