Default Scratch in Bumper

So i picked my car up at night. A day or two later i went over it and found a scratch in the bumper. I cant get good pics of it to show but its thru the paint. Its about an inch long. Talked to dealership and they kinda gave me the you did driving around. It looks like and even the guy at their the body shop they had me take it to has rubbing compound around it that maybe when they detailed it they scratched it and tried to buff it out. I can live with the scratch. I know if i make a big deal about it and have it fixed i will knock the bumper on something and do far worse.

But should i try and have them fix it? Worried that if i do it may not match. They are supposedly contacting nissan about maybe having it fixed. They even commented when the car showed up and during inspection it was dusty and they may have missed it. The quote to fix it was 443.00 and i figure if they deny it, if it bothers me that bad i can have it fixed.

Just up in the air about what to do, maybe if it wasnt brand new i wouldnt even care as much. Really doesnt bother me now exept when i see it. You do have to look for it to notice it. Probably best left alone is what im thinking.

In the corner of the pic you can see the compound that is there, there was a ton more but the dealership when i took it up there rubbed most of it out when i let them look at it.
