Plywood vs. Pressed Wood Cabinets

There has long been a debate in the industry about the differences in cabinetry that are manufactured from plywood or from pressed wood. Most all professionals agree that there are many benefits to plywood cabinetry, not least because they don't expand or dissolve from moisture as pressed wood cabinets do.

I would like to ask our esteemed group of rehabbers, if the money spent on plywood cabinets, though minimal, is necessary if the home will be flipped. I have heard that buyers are more educated today than before, and will consider it a negative if the cabinet boxes were constructed from pressed wood.

What are your experiences?
