Just had new windows + doors, my windows all are 1/2 openers (that is, the frames are split in half and the top halves open - so a frame, has a 'cross' from dividing the window into four equal panes of glass, with the top two opening).
Our lounge has a side window, only a narrow one - but tall. Attached for ref.
This window has been supplied with the top 1/3rd opening, rather than 1/2 opening as per the instructions/survey. I can get half of the cost of that window back if I leave it in place, or they'll replace it if I so wish next week.
I'm torn, my wife says it's fine and would look odd as 1/2 an opener - the original wooden windows were 1/2 openers etc. The rest of the windows in the house are 1/2 openers - as with the rest of the houses on the estate.
I think it looks odd, but £150 is still £150 in my pocket. Her argument is that we never notice the window as the curtains are closed near the top, and open near the bottom sorta thing.
I'm a pedant. Small things bug me - as this isn't balanced with the rest of the house I know it'll bug me (yes, I know, I'm odd).
What would you do?

It was just as a comparison. Like I said, I'm fussy too, and I know it would bug me.
