Any towing difference between 8' or 8.5' width?

I'm looking at getting an overall shorter trailer, but perhaps wider. Currently we have a Sprinter 311BHS that is 8' wide (before they went wide body) and am looking at an AF 25W that is 8.5'. Overall...

My trailer is a 102" / 8.5'. Its difficult in construction zones where the road is extra bumpy and concrete side walls and not aligned construction barrels are everywhere. Its also bad when you are in the center lane with semi trailers on either side.

Typically the narrow questionable spots only last for 30-60 seconds at a time though. I'd buy a 102" trailer again no questions.
