It is curious how we deal with page numbers. Nobody complies if you have the same paper book in "pocket edition" or "deluxe edition" and they have a different numbering in the pages (obviously due to different type and size of letter and way of composition), but we do with ebooks.
For me, I prefer to know how many pages are left (real page turns) with my actual letter size, as it is was I was used to with paper books.
Regarding the page numbering, out of curiosity, I have taken a look in a number of paper books, and the majority of them have then page numbering in the bottom part of the page, and a big percentage centered (though some were right justified).
The title on top of the page is not usual in paper books, specially in "pocket" editions, although is some "deluxe" editions is not so difficult to find them. I have found very few books with the chapter title or page number on the top.
Just my two cents about how we deal with paper and electronic books.
Anyway, after some time reading with my kobo, now I like the composition with the tile on top and page number (or percentage or time remaining on request with a tap), Not having the possibility to select this composition make me reluctant to update.
If I update (still waiting for the 24 values line space patch), I will patch to have only the total page number bottom side.
