Is $17,000 to replace a 435 sqft deck including railings a fair price?

Project Details

I have two estimates for replacing my 435 square foot deck. My current deck is 28 years old and about 18 inches off the ground. I'm confused why the estimates are so far apart, especially since the more expensive one doesn't include railings.
