84-001 Roller or 84-031 Roller?

Question

Should I purchase the 84-001 Spring Tension Screen Door Roller, 15/16" plastic wheel or the 84-031 Spring Tension Screen Door Roller, 1" Steel BB Wheel. The existing patio screen rollers, all of which will be replaced, have 1" x 1/4" OD plastic wheels and the spring steel is 11/32" wide. The picture below is of one of the existing rollers which is marked 41. (It was bent some during removal.)

Many thanks, Joe

I have replaced nylon rollers with the steel in the past. We are only talking a few "32"'s of an inch. Make sure you have a little play in the width in the patio screen rail. The cut out where the roller fits into. I actually laid both wheels next to each other and you can barely notice the difference.
