215/50-17 tires

I am thinking of going to a 215/50-17 (on stock 6.5" rims) from the current 205/50-17. I know my speedo will be off about 1.5% but I'm more concerned about handling. Has anybody made this change and noticed any difference? The tires I'm looking at are the Dunlop sport maxx, if I stay stock 205, or the Yoko S drive if I go with the 215's.
