Hate the SUMA side mirrors, question about the Rav4 retrofit

I do NOT like my SUMA side mirrors. I do like the turn signal arrow in the mirror but a s far as being able to see and judge distances it is just not practical to have these mirrors. I want a blind spot mirror and hate stick the stick on mirrors. For those of you that HAVE done the Rav4 retrofit, did you do both sides for appearances? The passenger side 4runner mirror is already convex so wasn't sure if I should just reinstall the factory passenger side and get the Rav4 mirror for the drivers side or will that look unbalanced?

I did both sides. I’m a little ocd about things not matching, but I think I use that sides blind spot section more than the DS. Was a fairly inexpensive mod
 
I have the Suma mirrors and think they are much better then the previous Rav4 blind spot mirrors I had on the truck.
 
I did both sides on both my 4Runnerand my wife's 3G Tacoma. We tow an excursion trailer from time to time, as well as a cargo trailer. Having them on both sides helps when towing, without having those extra large clamp on towing mirrors.

I drive in heavy traffic, I find it difficult to judge distance in those mirrors when other vehicles are close. I have given it several months of driving to allow my brain to adjust. When I drive my Silverado it has a built in spot mirror and it is very comfortable to me so I'm thinking the RAV4 mirrors may be better for me. I do hate losing the turn signal lighting up in the mirror. Besides being cool looking it alerts the driver beside me I'm coming over.
