When a standard 18 cubic foot refrigerator was going for $400.00 at the big box stores.
Let's just cut to the chase. This was the last Sub Zero product that the family ever purchased. And that family had 3 more new homes constructed on the big lake. None of those new homes had any Sub Zero brand.
If one needs a Sub Zero for bragging rights. And the extra money. Go for it.

Don't know if your comment was directed at me, but I can tell you that the only reason I mentioned the brand name was because Winilyme asked if the extreme delay was across all fridges or a particular brand/model. I did not mention it to "brag". I do not need to tell people what brands of products I buy to have a sense of self-worth.
Similar to what Woody stated in his post, this will be our 3rd home of upgrading the kitchen and master bath. All of our moves have been work relos and the homes that we have bought have been "tired" and in need of a new kitchen/baths. Our experience has been that at time of resale, high-end kitchens and master baths sell houses and we have always recouped our project investment and then some.
