Default 195/50/15 as opposed to 205/50/15?

I was over at H-T and I saw that a lot of the Type-R guys ended up running a 195/50/15. I was confused, because I've never heard of anyone doing that.

Wouldn't that throw the speedo off even more? The stock tire is 107.25 mm tall, the 205/50 is 102.5, and the 195/50 is 97.5

The reasoning I got was because they are cheaper than the others, but are there any drawbacks? I just realized that a Potenza S-03 is $114 in 205/50 but $79 in 195/50.

Good thing taxes are coming!
