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...

I think its all in your heads that 6 inches makes a difference. Thats only 3 on each side. If you towed two trailers and didn't know one was wider than the other I doubt you would ever know any difference.
