195/55-14 is a bit smaller diameter, and will make the speedometer error
worse. OTOH, if you fix the speedo via larger tires, you'll throw off
the odometer, which must be accurate with stock tires by law, for
warranty reasons.

Personally, I don't really care about any of that. I calculate the
speedo error with mileposts and a stopwatch, and pay little attention to
the odo. Actually, with 205/50-15 my speedo is almost perfect. But every
Miata is a little different.
