Question Would you like to see window locations on SeatExpert.com seatmap?

I am in the process of programming interactive comments for my UA seatmaps that does not yet have them, and am considering spending additional time to include actual window locations on the seatmaps. May I have a show of hands whether you think it is worthwhile to add them to UA's seatmaps on www.SeatExpert.com ?

For your information, I started adding windows to all of my seatmaps a few months ago, and now the vast majority of my 300 or so seatmaps showed actual window locations relative to the seats. Reds indicate confirmed missing windows, Yellows are suspected but unconfirmed missing windows, and Whites are actual existing windows.

Here is a Lufthansa seatmap that illustrates the window locations:

and here is the current SeatExpert.com UA seatmap (without windows):
http://www.seatexpert.com/_UA_747.html

Since many of the UA seatmaps were already done before I thought of adding windows, I will have to redo them to include the window locations. Basically I have to discard the existing seatmaps, and recreate the new seatmaps pixel by pixel. I would rather not spend the 4-8 hours per seatmap if the majority of users don't care one way or the other. Your input is very much appreciated to help me prioritize how to spend the limit resources of my small team.
