The market is a huge factor in how far design goes but I feel like every one has tried to "out design" each other recently to where it is almost over the top.

Some have quotas, some don't.Like anything in real estate the gatekeepers of the knowledge are the people in the market on a daily basis. also greatly depends on the velocity in the market place the price points quality .. etc etc.. tons of factors for builders to consider when negotiating with buyers and or the buyers agent.
