TBI Swap Fuel Pump Quandary

I'm getting ready to order my fuel pump for my TBI swap. I'm planning on running the Carter P5001, but after looking at the specs of the P5001 vs. the P5000, I have a slight hesitation.

The P5001 runs 9-22 psi @ 50 gph whereas the P5000 runs 22-75 psi @ 50 gph.

The numbers fluctuate depending on who you ask, but seeing as how TBI only needs anywhere from 9-13 psi, is there any advantage to running the larger pump? It's never going to be a high-horse, monster engine. Just a real streetable 454 with a small RV/towing cam and intake.
