You are talking about the difference between 5 MND and 3 PIE between the two races. It is literally a difference of 100HP healed and maybe 120MP between the two at lv.60. It doesn't really matter in an endgame where you heal 2000 to 2500hp and with your basic heal and a pool of 11000mp.

You may have a slightly harder start from levels 1 to 10 because of it, but that's the only time the difference will be felt.
