But, to each their own. |
I guess that is one way to look at it but if you are like us and enjoy outdoor living then the price is not that big of a factor. After 50 odd years up north in the cooler weather we now spend quite a bit of time on our lanai enjoying the outside and the pool/spa.
But you should also add into your calculations the savings from having a beverage refrigerator in the summer kitchen instead of a full size 2nd refrig in the garage like some folks we happen to know. There is also a fair amount of storage space in the cabinets. But again it all depends upon what personnel preferences are.
