You are not sacrificing any performance and in fact are improving your ability to turn and not trip the breakers.

World Finalist 348 also used a team 25esque drivetrain. Having experienced their defense, I can attest to the speed and pushing power of this design. However, it did have a tendency to buck back and forth violently.
