Picked prefinished ply over site finishing for my last kitchen and it saved me 3 days

I had a kitchen job last month in a condo downtown where the client wanted that super smooth painted look. I was stuck between doing it the old way with MDF and spraying after install or going with prefinished maple ply and adding face frames. I went with the prefinished stuff from a local supplier because the timeline was tight. Man it was nice not dealing with dust and drying time between coats. The color matched perfect across all the boxes too. Only catch was I had to be real careful with edge banding but a hot iron made that go quick. Would any of you have gone with site finishing for a small galley kitchen like that?

Yeah, prefinished saved me on a tight timeline too and the color matching was spot on...

Wait, did you guys find the color matching was actually consistent across different batches? @iris_stone28 that's been my biggest worry with prefinished floors, but hearing yours was spot on makes me lean that way.
