Im sure the controllers will agree. If you unable to comply with a request then let them know. I have never had any grumbles when doing this in a reasonable situation. As for this specific situation, I would have thought it was safer to be a bit on the high speed side for safety in such windy circumstances. On the aircraft I fly by adding 20 knots to Vref as would be the case in such a windy situation the final approach speed would be about 150-155 all the way down.
