For wireless devices using b or g, the b/g/n option will have no noticeable difference. By adding b/g/n instead, it means that it will support the newer technologies in n that will allow for improved range.

By comparison, the sacrifice mostly comes from doing the reverse. 'n' is less effective when shared with b and g than it is on its own because the router has to reduce some of those options to support the older networks.
