Will one tooth make any difference?

The 34/46-12-28 setup I've got on the Paramount PDG 3 needs 'just a tad' lower gearing to help these old legs.
the rx100 (and the 105 I have)simply won't work with a 30t cassette.
I really don't want to start messing with what I have. It works, I'm not climbing on every ride.
TA offers a ramped and pinned 33t.
The front derailleur (supposedly) will handle the 33/46 difference.
Just wondering how much 1 tooth drop will make.
Anyone have any experience with this?
I realize harris has an entire booklet of charts on gear ratios.
I was hoping for some seat of the pants feedback .
Thanks
