Based on others' similar conversions (detailed on bentrrider), the smaller wheels spread out the wheelbase and make the handling more stable. It also adds more weight to the front, which is good for the FWD on hills.
I tried a friend's USS, and did not care for it at all.
Not trying to talk you into or out of anything, but Performer offers 4 lowracer models, if you count the folder. Only one of them has a 16" front wheel. I can't tell from looking if it's a 305 or a 349 version of 16" wheel.
