That's only a half stop Michael so really not that important unless you really do a lot of low light interiors and need all the exposure you can get. From f/4 or f/4.5 to f/2.8 then there is a full stop difference and that one could notice. Depending on the lens design the bokeh could be better on the f/4 than the f/2.8 but the bokeh also depends on the distance of the background from the subject.

We are talking about the shooter here and not the results to the viewer of course.
