What was the major stand out? A few things were different to standard.... in the display: Kitchen appliance bench is extended by 700mm (which essentially extends entire kitchen width) Island bench is extended by 300mm deep Shower in ensuite was 1550mm wide - found out that our upgraded larger shower was only 1200mm wide. Rectified now Windows in study, living, rumpus are 1800mm drop (standard is only 1500mm) We all go in understanding that there are many upgrades in fixtures/fittings, that are not included in standard, but these were a surprise to us. Thanks to this forum, I have been made aware of some of these items and ensured we upgrade - others we discovered just by comparing display to standard plans (during our many visits to the display home)!
