I was thinking the same thing. Plus I'm using the 19T for the winter when I also have larger tires. I really didn't the like the prospect of a few mm of clearance between the tire and the seat tube on a snowy and icy day.
On the other hand though, I really don't like riding with a slack chain, it feels too sluggish
