[sdiy] Are there technical reasons that people use 1/8" jacks?

[cheater cheater]

There are the obvious questions of compatibility with existing
modules, and the questions of cost (1/4" jack related parts cost more
and so do bigger panels). But setting those aside.. is there anything
inherently wrong with the 1/4" jack? Does it perhaps have too much
capacitance for some applications? The 1/4" jacks don't wear out
quicker, they're more resilient, so I'm wondering if there's any
application where the 1/8" performs technically better.
