You're talking a difference of one-half inch. I don't think it will be a big deal. Higher BB is less likely to pedal strike if you happen to pedal through a turn. Your saddle will also have to be 12mm higher above the ground to account for the higher BB. Lower BB will be more steady but a little more prone to pedal strike. Saddle can be slightly lower.
