Wattage rating

Ok so after doing some searching I figured out that

1. Only RMS wattage ratings mean anything when it comes to speakers.
2. The higher the wattage rating, the more power the speakers can handle.

Here's my question. If I plan to just play my speakers at a reasonable level where I can still talk with other people in my car, do I really need speakers with high wattage ratings? So say one speaker is rated at 300watts rms whereas another is rated at maybe 100watts rms. Am I going to notice a difference (not considering the quality of each brand etc) between the two speakers if I don't jack the volume up? In other words, does the ability of the speaker to handle larger amounts of power affect the quality of the sound at all?
