I wouldn't select a carpenter for crown that says they will miter inside corners.

The way I was trained, a carpenter doing inside finish work wouldn't dare show up with caulk for joints. Intermediate joints (not at corners) are mitered, outside corners are mitered and glued, inside corners are coped.
