Am I being too picky?

We finally started construction on our galley kitchen. The plan was is to open up the entrance to the diningroom.

The entrance to the diningroom is on the short wall. I wanted it open as much as possible, leaving enough room for cabinets. The contractor openened it up today and left 41" of wall on one side and 36.5" of wall on the other side. To me, the opening is not symetrical. He thinks I'm being too picky and no one would notice 4.5" difference. Well, I noticed it as soon as I got home.

I asked him why he didn't keep the walls even as we discussed, he said he designed the opening to allow for future double doors. I have no intention of putting in doors and I want him to cut the wall out more.

I think he took the short cut, openened it up to the first stud and if he opens it up another 4" he'll have to completely reframe the opening (which is what I paid for).

Sorry for the long post, do you think I'm being too picky, should I let it go and move on.

Thanks.
