Will it make a difference between using tubing size 3/8ths x 1/2 over 3/8ths x 5/8ths?

 

any pro's or cons?

 

(because i screwed up my fitting size, and instead of returning all of it, id rather just buy new tubing that matches it)

 

my new tube will be 3/8ths (10mm) x 1/2 (133mm)

the smaller tubing walls will kink easier.. and thats about it really
