Rolex President - 18038 vs 18238 Quick question

Hi all,

I just purchased a mint, box, accessories and paperwork 18038 with a champagne dial.
Literally zero flop on the bracelet.
Seller has yet to ship the watch and he just listed a very similar 18238 with the same dial and all accessories and paperwork as well.
Bracelet as well has zero flop.
I have an opportunity to just wire him an extra 2000$ and get the 18238.
I know the major real difference is the single vs double quickset function.
I can live with the single function so that’s not really a concern for me.
I’ve been reading various threads that say that the 18238 feels a little smaller than the 18038.
The case is thinner and that it looks smaller on the wrist.
Given that this is already a small watch the bigger the better for me.
Can anyone comment on the actual real world size differences between both.

Lastly, down the line, will the 18238 be worth at a minimum that 2000$ extra.
Better investment?

Thank you
