We also say that a 1" steerer provides a slightly more comfortable ride, given the very slight amount of flex in a 1". But bear in mind that these are recommendations- some riders are not as sensitive to these minor changes as other riders... Still, if you jump from 1" to 1.125", you'll probably be able to feel at least some difference in torsional stiffness, provided the top tubes of the two bikes are of the same stiffness rating and diameter, which impacts that feeling as well.
