Nominally, you could quickly (incorrectly) think a 27mm inflated width tire is only 4% greater in size than a 26mm tire, but with an ovalized area and the height differential, it grows to perhaps about a 12% difference. Since the various tire pressure calculators don't include height, the ballparks can be quite large in size.
I guess that's the value of knowing the height when comparing tyres of the same width.
