If new sod is the same height as the old sod, it will ultimately become lower than the rest of the lawn, which is about the last thing you want to have happen. It will look even because the mowers will cut it evenly but walking on it can become hazardous to your health and your pocketbook should someone step in a depression and injure themselves. The thing to look for is to see if the edges match. Sod pieces are angled on one side so the pieces can lay evenly while rooting. Otherwise, you end up with permanent gaps.
BTW, got this info from two different landscapers, one of whom has been working in TV for fifteen years now.
Remember, this isn't grass we are used to. Anywhere else, we would be ripping it out and calling it crabgrass.
