anyother swaybar question

seems to be some disscusion going on about sway bars lately. i just made the mistake of desiding to change the eye bushings in mine. the new ones i've got are either the wrong ones or they just make them so they are nearly impossible to install.
so anyway, anyone know what the benefits of haveing a 1 1/4" bar over the 1 1/16" might be?

Should be stiffer side to side.

or in other words; more resistful to body roll or sway, wil take more G's to preload the thicker bar than it would take to preload the thinner one
