I agree that it would suck paying for 2 sets of appliances, but if retro-fitting something will cost more than new appliances AND not look as good/be as well built, then I would think you should consider the long term costs and benefits.

If your budget up front is an either/or situation then I would differ the one that is easier to do later.

Of course, that is the point where teh seller says, "If you get them up front you can finance them as part of your mortgage and it will only cost you a few extra dollars a month!". Of course they neglect to mention that you will end up paying 2 to 3 times as much (if not more) over the length of the mortgage.
