Going down teeth on the front can cause extra chain wear, as it makes the turn tighter... but honestly 1 tooth won't really make a noticeable difference to wear... certainly not as much as the improvement it makes anyway
I've changed gearing on bikes in the past (-1 +3 on my Firestorm/Superhawk) and it makes a massive difference to rideability.
