In addition, the price difference between 1/2 and 3/4 is not that much
and since you're doing a rather limited run (1 kitchen's worth), it
shouldn't be a big deal $wise.

A quick price check shows 3/4" to be 40-45% more than 1/2". Figure that a
standard 24" wide base cabinet made completely with 1/2" will take almost an
entire 4'x8' sheet. With the way plywood is priced these days, I'd think a
whole kitchen might add up. I'd also throw in that it's 50% heavier than
1/2", which makes it more difficult to manage around the shop, especially
full sheets.
But hey, I'm not telling anyone not to use 3/4"...I just think for most
kitchen cabinets it's over the top.
