Some cabinetry cost differences arise from obvious differences -- specialty finishes, interior features, wood specie, door style, etc.  So using higher-quality cabinets with simpler styling and limited special features can cost the same as using a less-well-made cabinet that is "dressed-up" and "loaded-up."

Production time and materials cost money.  So as you select your cabinetry, work to learn how time and materials are used differently to produce different results.  The more information and understanding you collect, the better you can select a product with benefits that are actually important to you, and buy just the quality and features that you truly want to pay for.

Is it important to you that your cabinets are extra strong?  ...or more important that they have a certain look?

Does it matter to you that a skilled artisan has spent hours sanding and finishing your cabinetry?  ...or will a machine-production result suit you just fine?

Will you really use all those spinners and slide-outs?
