You may be oversimplifying it a bit. There are reasons to run a 140 on the rear. I run a 140 on the rear of my track bike, because it offers that little bit of extra cornering clearance. For street riding, though, I'm not sure there's much of a point.

You can try it. Worst that will happen is you ride it for a few thousand miles and change back. Or if you really hate it, take it off and sell to someone for slightly less than you paid.
