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...

Biggest difference between 8.5, 8.0, and 7.5 - how easy it is to see behind the rig when pulling on the highway. On winding roads it's a combination of width and height, I'd rather have a shorter, skinnier trailer on winding mountain roads.
