On its face I agree with you; the only problem with the PSA is some bars, especially in the days of 35mm clamps, get really, really, stiff when they're shortened because of how flex is designed into them, so there's a real risk that in say going from 800mm to 750mm the ride quality will go down.
Even then, if a good shop is changing bars out to make a bike fit properly the wider option is probably easier to resell.
