Riser Bars - 1" vs 1.5" rise

I don't have any experience yet with riser bars (I ride a flat bar currently) but I'll be putting one on my single speed build. I've got the option of using a bar with a 1" rise or one with a 1.5" rise. Same brand, so all other dimensions and specs are the same.

So how does a 1" rise differ from a 1.5" rise bar, performance-wise? What are the pros/cons of each? Does it even matter? I'm assuming there's a significant enough difference since a company would offer both in the same model.
