I agree practically with Kurt. There are times when you can't even cross
from the right side to the left side of two components that may have a
little height, or differing depth with a .5M even atop each other. The
broadest market for resale will be 1M (tied in there). Though, oddly the manufacturer may actually have designed it around a length other than the shorter. and there may be very subtle differences between that length and the half meter, if your system can detect that is an 'if" or "myth" in cases where longer is a tone control.
