Handles or knobs on shallow five piece drawers?

I didn't realize this was going to be an issue until yesterday when I visited the cabinet maker to make hardware selections.....

Cabinets are full-overlay recessed paneled with a mixture of doors and five piece drawers, even on the shallow ones.

I love the look the cup pulls and really had my heart set on those, using knobs for the upper and the lower doors. However, after choosing those, my cabinet maker informed me that he didn't think the cup pulls will fit on the shallow top drawers and asked what I'd prefer to do - knobs like the uppers or a different pull?

My dilemma is that I'm afraid that it will look really off balanced to use a knob on the top with a cup pulls underneath. Therefore, should I just scrap the whole cup pull idea and go with a pull that will work everywhere or use knobs, cup pulls, and regular bar pulls?

Honestly, my heart is sinking at the thought of scratching the cup pulls :(

Thoughts and/or pics would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
