Are there any pros to using PCL profile 111 over 259 for Xamarin and MvvmCross?

I've been working on a cross-platform Xamarin app targeting iOS and Android only (no windows platform support required), using Stuart Lodge's excellent MvvmCross framework.

Microsoft released versions of their Portable Class Library BCL packages, and Stuart describes how to setup a project with these in http://slodge.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/quick-run-through-using-pcls-in.html.

I have been using profile 259 happily for a few projects, but now I need to use profile 111 for a library I must use called refit. I need to make sure I'm not shooting myself in the foot by making this change for one library.

Why would one use profile 259 over profile 111? Vice versa?

Profile111 targets portable-net45+netcore45+wpa81

Profile259 targets portable-net45+netcore45+wpa81+wp8

The difference being that Profile259 has support for Windows Phone Silverlight (8.0), whereas Profile111 does not. If you don't require Windows Phone Silverlight support, you'll be fine.
