basement design question

Hi:

We have a lookout basement. We are about to finish them.

I have always seen a ledge in the exterior wall of the lookout basements. This is the wall that has all the windows. I was all set to choose a design with ledge.

However the designer of the basement contractor that I am working with us told us that we should consider not have ledge at all. She recommended having a wall that goes all the way up. This means that window sills will be deep. She was telling us that this will make the basement look like rest of the house.

I have never seen such a basement and I was wondering if you have a basement where you had to make a similar decision. What did you choose?

Thanks
