Remodel or leave as is?

I posted on here a few weeks ago asking what the best remodel option would be to open the wall where the fridge currently is. My plan was to swap the fridge and stove or the fridge and sink/dishwasher and open the wall to the dining room. I had a contractor come out to cut a hole in the dropped down ceiling to see what’s up there and of course there are pipes up there, directly above where the microwave is. My only option would basically be to raise the middle part of the ceiling and leave soffits above the cabinets. I can still knock down the wall but I will also have a drop down there where the beam would be installed. The soffits are definitely not ideal so I’m wondering if this is even something I should pursue. It’s not a horrible kitchen it’s just crammed and the ceiling is weird but the rest of it is ok/functional. Better to save my money and plan to move at some point to get what I want? Or move forward with knocking down the wall and installing soffits above the cabinets?
