Considering Can a 7/8 scale guitar - bad ideabe detrimental to my playing ability?

I was at the guitar shop today, and fell in love with one of their acoustic guitars (Steelstring, Parlour, with Cutaway). For some reason, I like small guitars.

However, I found out that it only has a 7/8 scale (61.5 cm = 24.2 inches). AsSince I'm planning to use this as my main practice guitar, how much should I worry that this might be detrimental to my playing?

(Note: I'm not a concert guitarist or something like that, but I still want to be able to grab any full-size guitar and play it without having to recalibrate too much.)
