I understand what you are asking. We went through the same process.

In general, all upgrades you do with TV will be at full retail price. You never pay full retail when you shop around with multiple contractors. You also have to consider convenience and what that is worth to you.

Personally, I would do the following non structural upgrades with TV and everything else after closing:
base boards upgrade width, possibly cabinets, recessed lighting (you don’t need as many as you might think)
