I ran the numbers after I posted this and, you're right, it is a very minor shift. 7d: drop two highest and two lowest has a more substantial effect, but begins to be more complex since you're rolling a lot more dice at that point.

4d or 5d dropping either highest or lowest has a very noticeable effect of shifting the results up or down, as desired; it's just not the desired result in this discussion.
