Filling in gap above kitchen cabinets

Just nearing the end of a kitchen installation.
Using standard height units, we knew that the finished units would come to around the bottom of the existing coving. Due to problems with levelling really undulating floor, the top has come a little higher than that.
We always planned to have this little gap filled in but wanted to see what finished kitchen looked like before decided how. We have a major spider problem in our house and this gap would end up full of webs!
The gap is about 6.5cm.
Builder says we should fill it with kitchen panels cut down.
Kitchen fitter says we should use plain MDF and paint it to match ceiling.
I haven't asked a decorator but they might well suggest something else .
We do have a load of matching coving spare but don't think it's the right thing to use.

Suggestions please.

This is not something that we are going to attempt ourselves, we will get a professional to do it.

The carpenter suggested using the narrower side to fill the gap (which I hadnt considered) so the shadow gap is a tad bigger so looks intentional, and the uneven ceiling is now not obvious.

You've got Joel Dommett's kitchen! Just watched him on this Morning and there's the same gap.
