Low Volume Board Question

I've done quite a bit of searching on here and the Internet can't seem to find the answer, maybe someone on here can help me!

I'm curious to know the true advantage to a lower volume board in regards to this scenario. I'm 5'8", 122 lb (55kg) and looking at a SIC RS 21.5. The standard RS 21.5 has a max rider weight of 190lb and 265L and the LV version has a max rider weight of 155lb (70kg) and 240L. I'm still under the weight limit of the LV by 15kg. That's not adding water or anything of course, just rider weight.

What would the advantage/disadvantages of using the LV board versus the standard in my case? The board weighs about a pound less which is nice. Would it be better to choose the LV versus the standard?

Thanks!
