The sound post position to the bridge would be 1/2" further away by your own description? This will change the sound of course and depending on where it was, may not be so healthy for the Top for the Bridge to be moved further away.

Is this the bass you were trying to sell?

Also, if this work was done by a Luthier, why didn't you have him take care of the top area where the old feet scars are rather than asking in a public forum? Do you trust him less than you do us?
