Suggestions please - repaint bumper or touch up paint

Reviving an old thread, hoping for some suggestions from pain knowledgeable members. Nissan agreed to "fix" my bumper, so they sent it to a very reputable local shop. The idea was they will repaint the whole thing, but they ended up blending it. I was pretty annoyed by it, but when I went to check it out, it actually looks great. I am super picky and have a rough idea of flaws to look for, cannot find any... Nissan will cover the bumper with clear bra, so please keep that in mind.

My question - should I take car as is and have them do the clear bra, or should I at least get them to apply a clear coat over the entire bumper, or what do you guys think? Worried that eventually the blending job will starting looking bad.
