    Higher-frequency crystals, because they're physically smaller,
    are often more shock- and vibration-resistant than low-frequency
    crystals.

    It's probably not an issue in this case, since the frequencies
    you're choosing from aren't THAT far apart, but maybe something
    to keep in mind for other crystals you might need in your
    high-vibration application.
