But MORE of a PITA than buying a bunch of expensive wood, building a new a cabinet, and having to get the countertop stone off of the old cabinet and ready to apply to the new cabinet? I'm not sure.

Make sure it really will work with an 1/8th off. Measure top, bottom, middle, front, back.

The front and top are the tightest. The back near the wall has a bit more space (may not even need the ⅛" removed there).

Might be better to trim a little off both sides so you don't notice. Of course, you need to also consider what style of door you're going to use.

I notice that sort of thing, but can live with it. The missus often notices if things are "off" (crooked, offset, etc...) and that usually drives her nuts. I triple measure everything that I do around the house, and have LOTS of levels and use them because I don't like to have to redo things. She's already said that she thinks this will be OK. If I do it, and we aren't happy with the results, then all that I'd done is waste some time.

I had originally planned to remove both and rebuild both. The first one that I tried to remove is the one that's still in place in the photo. I removed all of the visible screws and cut the caulk with a razor (same process as the one that's been removed in the photo). But, it turns out that the installed, must have put at least one screw through from the other cabinet into that one. To remove that cabinet, I'll have to use a multitool to cut that screw that's coming through from the wrong direction, and hope that it's the only one. The other alternative would be to remove the built in dacor refrigerator that's 7' tall and 650# IIRC from the cabinet to remove the one screw that I know about and any others. I REALLY don't want to pull out that fridge!

That's why we're even considering having a slightly asymmetric fitting.
