Interesting choice of trees as these Dawn Redwoods are unique in that they are conifers (needle-like leaves with cones) .Most conifers are evergreens but this Dawn Redwood is an anomaly that it loses its leaves every year.
These will look great in a month or 2. Personally I would have went with evergreens(Spruce,Cedar,Fir)as they add color during the bleak winter months.

The bigger they grow and the more mature they get, the trunks and branches take a very unique shape. Older dawn redwoods look majestic. And when snow falls on them and outlines them, it looks amazing.
I think they made a very good choice. Unless you are in an arboretum, you don't see dawn redwoods that often. The ones you mention are a dime a dozen. Here's a sample of what they look like when they get much bigger.
