Boxster Spec Allows 245/40/17 Square

I just read that the Boxster Spec class is going to allow 245 or 255/40/17 tires on all four corners (square) in additional to the existing staggered (225 or 235/45/17F and 255/40/17R) setup for 2012. The "or" sizes depend on the particular rules of differening sanctioning body's.

Anyone understand the advantages/disadvanages of the square vs staggered setups? 255? That seems like a lot of tire up front and it seems so different from stock that I wonder what the handling characteristics are like?
