Does this Howdens quote look reasonable?

Just cabinets, drawers and hinges. I'm having doors made elsewhere.
They say they won't lower the price unless I can bring a cheaper quote from elsewhere. I may be able to get a lower quote from Magnet Trade but it's taking a while for my account to be setup and I need to move fairly quickly. 
What do you think? ballpark or way off?

    40% discount?  No!
    and £95 delivery.   

    Put it into DIY kitchens and see what you get.

    Saying that, the actual prices don't look that bad so maybe they've changed their pricing structure again.

    According to the salesman the RRPs were brought down this year :D . He did advise me to bring them a cheaper quote then they'd try to match or beat it. Hopefully I can get a better price from Magnet Trade.

    The big difference between the DIY and Howdens quote seems to be the pan drawers. At least £400 more for what looks looks to be exactly the same thing!
