What/How would you do it

Ive bought these beveled edged tiles and setting out leaves me with a problem.
As pictured ive set the tiles out this way to minimise the cuts, I have 1 full tile at the base of the picture then i was going to 2 halves then 1 full ect ect but its left me with a long cut ( in yellow ) and if i cut along the middle of the tile its higher than the surrounding tile edges, if i cut 1 side im still left with 1 hight side ?
If i turn the tiles 90 degrees I'm left with 3 small square cuts and with black grouting its going to stick out a mile so hence why ive set them out like pictured. So how would you go about things now ? You can be as brutal as you like im thick skinned
 
1: Forgot black grout and go for light grey. There's nowhere to hide with black grout on white tiles, especially metros.

2: There's always going to be a compromise somewhere with bevel edged tiles. You can't have a cut tile in the middle so you have to move the whole section and have the cut at the top or the bottom.

I think I would lay them like this and have the cuts down the left hand end and fill and decorate the edge.

Took me a minute to work out what I was looking at as I thought the sink was a mirror:tearsofjoy:

I don’t have anything further to add
