Default Chassis Steel

Hi Guys, Not sure if something like this has been asked before, tried searching for a while and cant find anything.

contacted my local Steel supplier for the 25mm ERW and 19mm ERW square. They replied that they do 25.4mm and that they dont have any 19mm.

Looking from advice from you guys as you'll have a better idea through experience of your builds. My question is, could i use the 25.4mm for the whole chassis or do you guys see me running into problems?
Will this have a big impact on the chassis construction?
Obviously there will be a slight weight increase.
Do you think i may be better trying somewhere else or try to get a smaller size?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Itching to get my steel ordered
