New school vs Old School

We met with two guys and got sketches and quotes:

First guy meets us at the house with his computer and CAD program and takes measurements (with a digital device) uploads to computer and voila...rough sketches(2d) 

Second guy meets us at the house with his paper, pencil and eraser and this old school thingy they call a tape measure. He measures the walls and quickly sketches out all the cupboards as we describe them(3d). He was no slower than the other guy and all done by hand and head -no binary needed.

Both were referrals from friends who were pleased with their work. We were happy with both in this discussion phase.

#1 young guy, maybe 30 arrives in Aeropostle underwear...how do I know this, his pants are hanging waaaay low. LOL
 

We're leaning towards #2 ...why... gut reaction and yes, we made a generalization about him -young guy, maybe 35, arrived by driver because he's Amish!  He's old school math and drawing and only uses wood (no MDF etc) And the fact that we want a country/farmhouse kitchen... he probably owns one!  

Quotes are in:

While they're a bit different to compare because the first cabinet maker, did quote with higher cabinetry to take advantage of 9' ceilings and more glass doors, but with doors I didn't want (raised panels) and some little things that he didn't 'listen' to us about for our preferences.

My Amish guy, quoted the same amount of cabinetry (some glass, and 8' ceilings) but nicely finished (shaker cabinet doors) with crown mouldings etc and cabinetry for both the kitchen AND mudroom *combined* and the exact look/layout we explained to him.

The Amish gentleman's quote is half of the other quote.

No contest! ♥
