Ok, I have a 5.0/4R70W/1354 transer case with 4.56 gears and 32" tires. I need acceleration, good towing power and low crawl speed. Would there be a noticeable difference between 32 and 33 inch tires?

According to the chart its only a few mph but if anyone has some input I'd appreciat it.
Transmission Ratios:
4R70W 1st: 2.84 2nd: 1.55 3rd: 1 4th: 0.7


Tire Diameter 1: 32 inches
Rear Gear Ratio 1: 4.56:1
MPH
RPM 1st 2nd 3rd 4th
1000 7 13 20 29
1500 11 19 30 43
2000 14 26 40 57
2500 18 32 50 72
3000 21 39 60 86
3500 25 45 70 100
4000 28 52 80 115

You won't notice much of a difference. 4.56 is great with 33s.
