Should you spend more on your worktops and less on units?

Well obviously I would say yes wouldn't I. I had this conversation with a customer last week although it was a bit like preaching to the converted. But when you think about it, it makes sense. If budget is a constraining factor, which to be fair for most of us it is, wouldn't it be better to spend more of the budget on the area of the kitchen that is going to take the most wear and tear and less on the hidden bits that no one ever sees? Also when you walk into a kitchen what is one of the most dominating features? The worktops! By spending at little less on the units in order to afford the granite worktops or quartz engineered stone worktops that you want, you can make a cheaper kitchen look expensive and fabulous like the ones you see in all those glossy magazines.
