Then for sure even she would feel that distinction.
One could say that you need more than 10 or 12mm for the average person to take notice.
I guess as you stated...it is a matter of ones own taste or style.
Yet, 10mm increase would make such a slight difference. yes?
As I look at your pics, (nice) I see a ever so slight shadow line cast by wheel wells that would all but disappear with 20mm.
Agreed, the lowering does put a spin on this issue.
Now as far as the 10mm in handling, that could very well be more pronounced ... hopefully for a tighter ride.
After further review, maybe the 1/4" does have more concerns when it comes to added stress on wheel bearings, ball joints etc. Not sure but some reports that spacers can have ill effects on suspension althought the jury is still out if that is any spacers or just say bigger than 10mm
MB tech quote =
"Porsche, Brabus and Carlsson all use spacers. They have had a bad name in the past because non-solid unifit spacers using stud extensions (like in the 1960s with the 'mini') simply weren't engineered well.
H&R along with many others pay a lot of money to have the German Transport Ministry approve the use of their spacers and other components for use on cars in Germany. The Tuev standard is"

essentially eliminating the fears of vibration & suspension wear & tear. It enables the end user to achieve the look desired without any downside risks. The bad rap that still circulates on spacers seems to be directly related to the older design.

...I need to take some a few more pics when the weather gets nicer since after I added the front and rear light smoke film kit to the lights...It gives it more of a, to quote another members comments, "Darth Vader" look to it... 
I did find a pic I took around 6 months ago (prior to the tint kit) with the rear silver accent piece installed since a few members have emailed me asking about it:
