Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t think wiser is always necessarily better. Really depends on the terrain and how aggressive a rider you are.
The reason I'm quibbling over a few mm is because I chose a 650 wheelset over 700c for an extra 5mm of width (my frame can do 700 x 42 or 650 .x 47). But if I'm only getting an extra 2.5mm of width, I'm not sure it's worth the additional bottom bracket drop and increase of pedal strikes.
