Do not forget that your battery will degrade over time, so if you plan on keeping it for many years, you will notice the impact. A smaller battery will need more charging cycles and will degrade faster. For example, my Bolt has lost 10% of battery capacity after 99k miles.
Also, if you go on a trip, even only once a year, what happens if you get to a DFDC charger on a trip and it is broken. I had that happen with my Bolt once, and sure wished I had more range. I had to spend 2-3 hours on a L2 to get to my next stop.
Bigger battery also charges faster on a DFDC.
With an EV, range is king.
