The purpose of lower temperature water is to allow heat pumps and solar hot water systems to be more efficient. If you don't have either of those then there isn't a huge benefit to sizing a system for lower water temperatures. There are smaller benefits to be had though. Closer tube spacing will allow for more uniform and faster heat up times, this should reduce the amount of time the pump must run.
