Also, I had plans drawn up in the past by a draftsman and not an architect, but they were of very good quality and much less expensive. That was for a 25K job though, and this will be 100K+ so not sure I want to cut any corners on draftsman vs. architect there.
Drafstmen draw better than architects to begin with (and it's not even close) and typically it will have to get a stamp of approval from an architect anyway before the bank will give you a loan.

You're not hiring the architect to DRAW. If your architect is halfway decent, he/she will employ a draftsman in his/her firm. You're hiring the architect to help you redesign your space. Aesthetic decisions can be very difficult; subtle changes can make huge differences in the end result.
Another suggestion: find some renovations in your neighborhood you really like. Ask the homeowners who they used for design assistance.
