When I got home I realized the replacement tire is 700*25. Should I return it for a *23, or does it work fine? Are there advantages or disadvantages to having a *23 on one side and a *25 on the other?

Thanks
I ride 25's now. I find they ride nicer than 23's. I do have HED wheels though with a 25 mm width as opposed to a standard 19mm, so the wheel fits quite nicely. It has a lower rolling resistance, and I can run less air pressure.
