Buying Blizzaks for 1995 9K Aero - 205/60-16 OK?

I need to buy a set of snow tires for my Aero and wanted to purchase a set of Blizzaks as my girlfriend loves them on her Audi A6 2.7T Quattro (great car!).
I can immediately purchase the MZ-02 in the 205/60-16 size or wait at least a week (if not two) to buy the MZ-01 in the factory size of 205/55-16. Both tires are Q rated although I believe the MZ-02 is a more aggressive ice tire which might be helpful here in New England. The 205/60 is going to be at least $25/cheaper per tire and please keep in mind my wallet is hurting after the holidays!
Is there any disadvantage of going to the 205/60 outside of (1) potentially poorer handling due to the taller sidewall and (2) 3% speedometer error?
Thanks in advance,
Derek
