got heads back from machine shop (not pleased) advice

got my heads back off my 87 and noticed it had mismatched exhaust valves. One head had all matching exhaust valves but was different from the originals I brought the heads in with.

other had has one non matching exhaust valve.

Engine never been into has 68k miles and I looked at the valves and heads in detail before I dropped them off so I asked him after I unwrapped them and noticed it I called and ask was there a problem with the valves? he said no I explained why I was asking he said well those came in it and they had been worked over before, I didn't argue and said hmmm ok.

its not worth arguing I can't prove it but I know he is simply a half ass and put valves back in it that fit but not that came out of it just some from the hot tank that was clean and.. fit not pleased but what do you do you, yanno..

question is being OCDish I know it doesn't matter but that bothers me and I want new valves is there any you recommend? or just tell him put a matching set of exhaust valves in it and should I do the intake ones as well??
