Yes, the custom doors do look a simple design . I'm sure there is money to be saved having then CNCed yourself. Carcasses from DIY / Ikea etc will be nowhere near as nice as top end stuff, but budget will dictate this as necessary I think

The inside of a cupboard is the inside of a cupboard.
I can't remember ever being wowed by the inside of someone's kitchen cabinet - so it seems like if you're going to save money anywhere, it would be there.
One issue to be aware of with Ikea kitchens is that their units are deeper than other brands'. If you were hoping to buy standard size worktops it could be an issue.

This is the route I'll be going. As far as I can tell a lot of the Naked, Plykea, Custom Fronts are nicely designed but basically quite simple cut out birch ply. A friend who is a carpenter but works at a place doing big ply cnc jobs has said they can do it and he'll help me fit it. I'm replacing existing doors but when we replace the kitchen I'd do what you suggest.
Those top end kitchens have such nice configs/mechanisms etc are you going to be able to get something similar with DIY kitchens?
