That said, the very small difference is very important on laboratory applications. It's completely irrelevant for audio.

For audio yes. For the stability of your circuit it can cause mayhem if you are doing wonky things. Often can be solved by adding extra capacitance, but can be quite tricky to do (no room on PCB, capacitance was already large, ...)
