In 1/12th I can feel the difference in just a 6 tooth difference in spur, and subsequent pinion change, which moves the motor forward maybe 2 or 3mm.
As for a lower head, I doubt you would feel the difference but it may make a very small difference on the watch. Of course most drivers are not consistent enough to be able to find that slight difference in times in all the background noise of poor driving
