Easton R90SL vs H+Son Archetype

I am looking for building a new set of wheels and wanted to know if someone has good experience with R90SL rims.
I've 3 sets of Archetypes, one I got from Velomine and others I've built myself, so plenty happy with them.

The R90SL has a very similar profile, 2mm deeper and 2mm internal rim wider, and that got me curious since I ride 700x32c tires - but the new bike will go with a 700x28c because a 32c won't fit the frame.
Would a 19mm internal width make good difference from the 17mm of Archetype?

And the Easton one is few grams lighter
