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...

Only big difference is seeing straight behind the trailer with stock tow mirrors. But wireless cameras are cheap enough now it's not as big of a deal. Or just do the wiggle to peak behind the trailer.

There's few major highways with lanes under 10'. And even on narrow roads, the road crown usually keeps the slide toppers away from other big rigs.
