As a veterinarian Id tell you to take him home and carry on as usual. Ive been practicing for a number of years and it seems like they teach a lot of things at Veterinary School nowadays but one of them is not common sense. I hear heart murmurs occasionally; I mention them to the owner knowing that they can be a common finding/no threat but advise the owner to watch for things like decreased activity/exercise intolerance, breathing changes, increased coughing, etc. If your buddy is acting fine, eating well, and getting around without any problems then Id do nothing more than have the murmur rechecked at 6-12 month intervals.
The phrase "cats have nine lives" is around for a reason. . . cats are tough critters and live good lives with all sorts of things youd never know about. Nothing wrong with your vet offering the services of further diagnostics (ultrasound) but the suggestion should come with the understanding that the tests will likely come out normal.
I have not seen your cat but that is my nickels worth of advice, hope it gives a little piece of mind.
