Default Basins with 3/4" tap holes

Hmm.

Rather been caught out. Bought some bath taps (3/4") and some basin
taps (1/2") in the same make and style. In fact the tap bodies are as
near as dammit identical sizes all over, except for the base which is
a little wider on the 3/4".

Bought bathroom sink later. Having just installed it, I was slightly
surprised to find it had 3/4" tap holes in the ceramic.

It's only a little basin. Is this normal?

I'm tempted to buy more taps in 3/4" and ebay the 1/2" ones (or make
sure shower room basin #2 has 1/2" holes!).

Before I do that, am I missing something - like say the possibility
of using some sort of reducer? I suspect that may leave the 1/2" taps
not very well bedded and thus wobbly - but it's worth not being
hasty...
