Colour Space white point is in no way connected to monitor white point,
which essentially should be related visually to your viewing lamp
[which should normally be 5000K].
Incidentally most say that 6500 on a screen looks nearer to 5000K
illuminateed prints that 5000K on a screen does.
Different colour spaces are suited to different workflows, me, I like
to make the Workingspace big enough to hold ALL the incoming data,
because the incoming conversion is nowhere near as sophisticted as the
outgoing. As I recall, ECI is bigger than ARGB. Perhaps for that reason
it would be better if your images are saturated AND from a colour
managed source.
Lots of ifs and buts. No easy answer I'm afraid. Unless bigger was
always better, then it'd be yes.
