First flip and another question about cabinets

Flipping a middle of the road home in Rhode Island. Would all plywood cabinets (advertised as such) add enough value to make it worth it over engineered wood? Difference is about $2000, would I see that return or do buyers not care or would not even notice?

I don't think most buyers look at cabinet box construction, however I would make sure the drawers glides and hinges have the soft-close/blumotion hardware built-in. These are the features they like to brag/show off to their friends. 

Also- I don't know what manufacture you are looking at- but you can always do standard construction and upgrade the exposed cabinet sides to a real wood veneer. That way the sides of the cabinets you see will age at the same rate as the real wood doors ( assuming you are getting real wood fronts )

A lot of times cabinet manufactures use a vinyl side with their standard construction and since that is just a picture of the wood, it will not age and sometimes not look the same as the wood doors.
