Does the style of door affect home value?

This is an odd question, lemme try and break it down.

I'm working on a flip right now, and typically always replace the doors with new ones. Previous flips, I've went with the mission style interior doors (3 panel door) that were hollow since they were pretty cheap, about $140 a door(prehung) and looked nice. However, this current flip I'm working on is expected to be my strongest, will sell in the 700's hopefully. I came to the realization that since this house is gonna be pricey, should the doors be of a different style or higher quality (Solid wood instead of hollow)? Or, as long as the doors are new, it doesn't matter whether or not its a hollow or solid door, value won't really change? The other style doors like a 5 panel equal or 3 panel equal come out to be about $240prehung per door and are solid wood, so I'd be looking at a $2000 difference overall. Is it worth it or does it not really matter?

I've attached an imgur (will delete if not allowed) that shows 4 style of doors that I'm considering for the project, as well as interior shots of the general style I work with for my flips, if anyone would like to give their 2 cents i'd appreciate it.

@Faiz Kanash

For homes which are nicer, we put solid core for bedroom and bathroom doors but not for closets. Any style will work as long as it’s not a flat door.

Side note is most sellers when walking a home rarely are opening and closing the doors as most are open, so some may not know whether they are solid or hollow core
