Hey,
I went with the 1.25" mainly for the width being smaller. As mentioned a couple of threads up, Manufacturing would dictate the minimum width. I think the 1.25" should be ~1" more narrow.

Ergonomics were probably considered, but possibly limited by the equipment they had at the time or what equipment was available.
