Altering cue length affects cue balance?

My cue's ferrule is just under 9mm. So having the cue shortened by just over an inch ( to accommodate the move to a 9.5mm ferrule ).

At the same time, having the 'lost length from the shaft added into the butt. Would this drastically affect the balance of the cue? I'm thinking even if it did, the difference would not be that bad to give the cue a whole different 'feel' ?

Thank you for your help in advance.
