If the 630 mm (27 inch) wheel is decent quality and decent condition, no reason to replace it. I've often mixed 622 (700C) and 630 wheels on the same bike with not detectable ill effect. It isn't even visually noticeable, the sizes are so close.
The larger wheel will likely give slightly better braking and the slight change in geometry will be to increase comfort if anything.
