    I'm a kitchen designer and have both. Some time ago I. Posted a comparison of the two on here so you might want to search it.

    The short version is 2020 Design will do pricing on many mfg catalogs if you sell the brand and they support it. (my two better custom brands don't) They have another product specifically for shop drawings but my understanding is your better off with Cabinet Vision or the like.

    Chief does better working drawings for design purposes and installation. I do a lot of custom and only use 2020 for quick easy pricing. I did make the mistake of buying the Interiors version (or letting them sell it to me ;-) so I often have to export some things to CAD. Still within CA it is possible to draw much more of what I need to give a maker for order, in custom, than I can in 2020.
