Cottage style windows
Beyond cosmetics, are there any advantages or disadvantages to having cottage style double hung windows (larger lower sash)?

Larger sash to tilt in for cleaning which is more awkward unless you're cleaning the exterior glass from the exterior of the house. There is a small upcharge from equal sash double hung units. Meeting rail alignment on exterior shutters should align correctly on sashes of the windows.

+1. In short, not really besides cosmetics.

They will cost slightly more and will not be able to as open as far.
