What's the effect of a shorter stroke shock?

I have an old nice old 1997 specialized ground control that takes a 6.0 x 1.5 shock. I can't find one of those but 6.0 x 1.25 is common (eg fox rp2). What would be the effect on the bike? Just 1/6 less travel? Is it likely to bottom the shock out too much?

it will just have less travel and it might no be 1/6th less depending on the frame design ie rising rate etc
