The quote we got is about $900 more for primed with two coats of

I suspect that you meant it would save you a lot of labor cost; unless, of
course, the contractor is providing free labor. My guess would be that the
factory primed and painted siding would be just fine, in addition to being a
better paint job under controlled factory conditions. I sincerely doubt that
it would look 'cheesy'. As to getting the colors you wanted, well, that's
just individual taste and tolerance.

The pre painted siding is great. We get certainteed brand, and we can
get matching touch up paint and matching caulk. There is a better
color selection than in vinyl, but it isn't endless. As dave said,
it's a matter of individual taste.
