We recently had some friends visit TV with the LSP and were put up in Alden in what sounds like an identical villa. The kitchen had the same 45 degree angles on the peninsula where the sink is as our kitchen, and therefore has to have seams. Our kitchen (designer) only has one seam, at the midpoint of the sink, and the caulking is hardly noticeable after 3+ years. Since the 45's are to either side of the sink, they had to "waste" quite a bit of granite to do it in just 2 slabs. There was nothing that I would consider "cutting corners". The lighting fixtures were low end, but the bathroom fixtures were all Kohler and the ceiling fans were Kichler. The cabinets are medium contractor grade and as we all know, the contactor landscaping sucks. Anything that was wrong was handled by home warranty almost immediately. So no, I don't think they are cutting corners. But you also don't get top of the line appliances/cabinets/rugs/tile/etc., not for the price you pay.
