One third stop may seem little, but that's not always the case.
That one third could give you one or two extra meters room to shoot within (people tend to pose better, with a bit of distance from the flash)
It would also give me about a second faster recycle time in many situations.
But more important: It could give you the flash/ambient mix you want.
