In strictly game-related terms, very little. Deep stacks confer a slight advantage ("the Hammer of future bets" - Sklansky & Miller, not the Harrington Hammer) when going up against other more timid deep stacks, but in the hands of untrained opponents that's not much of an advantage, and against short stacks it's irrelevant.
The problem is, all the fish think it's a horrific disadvantage to be short-stacked. If the fish think they're huge underdogs they won't play. So you put a max on to make the fish think they're on even footing -- call it "limit lite".
