18v vs 9v Question

Hey smart pedal peeps,

I'm planning my next Paragon build taking my "lessons learned" from my first Paragon build documented here.

I've got the parts to build both a Paragon Mini and full size and I've been mulling over whether I want to remove the charge pump on the full size one.

Here's my question:

What's the difference between having a dedicated onboard charge pump for 18v vs just running a non-charge pump build at 18v (assuming I have all the right voltage parts)?

Is the resulting headroom the same for either method?

Thanks in advance!
