We are taking the carpets, because I would not pay the silly $$ they ask for tile or wood.

I will offer them for sale before moving in (I've seen that done here) if that don't workout use them for a few years and toss them.

Other options IMO were very fairly priced ex; 2' garage stretch $1200, that sounded very fair.

What ever U choose it will appreciate in value when the buildout ends
Ask your designer who they buy the carpeting from. Contact them and see if you can barter a better deal with an upgrade ( of anything they can offer). I think it would be easier for appliances but you never know.
