The first reason that comes to my mind is cost. Paint-grade molding is
cheaper than finish-grade.

Suggestion: Go buy eight-foot pieces of primed and finish-grade molding
similar to what you want. Tack them up temporarily in a visible place,
then stand back and look at them for a few days. When you decide which
you like better, go back and buy enough for the room. You can even
return the samples if you didn't damage them.

Maybe because you can't use chaulking or putty to hide bad cuts, gaps,ect.
if he keeps it clear...especially if things aren't straight and square as in
an older house????

The answer, of course, is that you can have whatever you want: after
all, it's your house.

Here's something to consider: use picture mold instead of crown mold,
which is what was used in most rooms in yesteryear. Depending on the
size of the room, this would be a better proportion (plus you could
actually use it to hang pictures, which after all was its original
function).

Available at most better lumber suppliers.
