Average latency difference isn't much, but wireless's inherent sensitivity to interference makes the worst-case latency difference a lot higher. I don't want to lose a game because somebody in the vicinity turned on a poorly shielded microwave oven. If you're going to all the effort of getting everybody together in person, why not do it right and set up a wired network?

You shouldn't be using 2.4GHz anyway.
And there isn't much else that's likely to interfere out of nowhere.
Sure, go ahead and buy a bulk pack of cables, but I don't think it's going to have a particularly large impact on a generic small LAN.
