That should not have been an issue. Fridges are made to be change and
it takes minutes. I'm surprised they even tried to charge you for it.

We've had two top freezer, one side by side, and now on the second
French door with bottom freezer. I'd never go back.

The top freezer just takes prime viewing space from the portion you
use the most, one or two shelves in the fridge.

Side by side was OK on the fridge side, but the freezer was narrow and
awkward for a lot of things. IMO< you made the right call for bottom
freezer. It is only opened about 1/20th the time you go into the
fridge so that should be the easiest to access.
