We're doing a kitchen remodel now. The architect just sent out the plans for bids, we'll know soon what the approximate costs are. Our current kitchen wasn't planned for one who cooks. Believe it or not, there are no above counter cabinets except one above the stacked double oven. the PO didn't cook at all it seems.
The current kitchen has granite countertops, look great, but we're not happy with their cooking oil resistance. We're going to reuse them elsewhere, including moving what's the work island now to the den and making it a wet bar, and using the others for a butlers pantry sort of thing.
We're really NOT looking forward to the disruption, but the results will be worth the trouble we think.

Good luck with the cost!!!
I can't believe the lack of cabinets! Neither my wife nor I are big on cooking, but to not have that storage space has to be rough! We wouldn't be able to do without them.
Nice that you've got a plan for re-using the existing granite/island. Part of the remodel we have going on now includes reshelving and installing a trash compacotr into the pantry. As luck would have it, the piece of granite cut out of the countertop for the cooktop is a perfect fit for the cabinte I built around the compactor. The piece they cut out for the sink will be cut to make tha backsplash.
