Default Selecting the right chain II

The previous poster got me thinking about my new freewheel/chain
upgrade. My original setup is 14t-30t 6-speed freewheel, 52/40 crank,
116 link chain. I plan to upgrade to slightly taller 14t-28t freewheel.
Should I drop down to a smaller 114 link chain or will the cage spring
soak up the difference?

TIA
