I priced out both brands as well. I went with a Simpson and it is gorgeous. I saved hundreds of dollars for the same door! One of the factors in determining price: Ask what each lumber yard keeps in stock. If they regularly buy that door, they get a huge discount from Rogue or from Simpson. If you are choosing something they don't keep in stock, they don't get a price break on that door so you pay much more for the door. The little dentil molding or an arch paned glass can turn out to be a 300 dollar difference because of this factor. I learned a lot about this when shopping for my front door!

You have three major things here that are making you dislike your kitchen - floors, hickory, and paint. Maybe a fourth - lighting. When cabinets are bad, I am usually the first to say, paint them white. But, your cabinets are so nice, and I personally would not paint them. I love wood floors, and want all my wood floors the same species and stain, so I would definitely want hickory floors in my kitchen. I know this is usually a "no-no" but I truly think with some tweeking in other areas you can make it work. See attached pictures from Houzz. Changing the terra cotta paint will make the biggest impact. Check out the green paint in some of these attached pictures or a neutral linen white (this is coming from someone who doesn't like white walls). Someone mentioned under-cabinet lighting - you probably need that, but hard to tell from the pictures. So, if that were my kitchen, I would intall hickory floors to match the rest of my house, I would paint the walls a lighter color (my accessories would help dictate that color), I would use a really nice kitchen rug to add color of my choice, I would use my bright, happy Fiesta dishes to make me happy. I am not understanding about the island - are you going to use one. If so, perhaps paint it a color (of your choice) to break up the flooring. Don't be afraid of mixing the hickory wood if that is what you want. If you google craftsmen room, you will see cabinets, trim, flooring, doors, etc in the same species and stain and it looks great. It is all in how other color is added. Here is a link that might be useful: [Houzz-Hickory cabinets[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/hickory-cabinets-phbr0lbl-bl~l_36965)

Stained wood trim is going to look odd in there - I think you're right to go with painted trim. The trim color is unlikely to make or break a sale - someone looking for a wood-filled lodge look is going to be unsatisfied with your modern house for many reasons. And someone looking for a modern house would likely be turned off by the wood trim. Personally, I think your realtor is looking at the trees, not the forest - pun initially unintended but I'm going with it! :)

You are very welcome and honestly when I dealt with TruStile they were pretty much exclusively MDF and interior doors. they make a great product and have obviously evolved as a company greatly. I am sure there wood series doors are a great product. That being said, like what I posted in the other post Simpson is a quality product that I would have no qualms with using anywhere i wanted a wood door. I appreciate the fact that you are sourcing the doors thru Ashby Lumber as well. Even though I am completely unfamiliar with them I would commend you for using them as I despise purchasing millwork of any kind thru a box store.
