self tailors and clutches may be an issue...

Older self tailer winches can be hard to adjust - going too small may be a problem. The same with rope clutches.

I once downsized a halyard on the recommendation of the rigger only to find that my rope clutch would not hold it. Fortunately, the rigger replaced it at no cost - especially since it had a rope to wire splice in it.
