<p>Where the most upvoted and accepted answers differ, I agree that the most upvoted is usually better. So I'm for the change but don't feel very strongly about it. It seems likely to affect a relatively small proportion of answers (anyone know what % we're talking about?) and the difference in quality in these cases is often fairly obvious.</p>
<p>EDIT: Based on @Scortchi's SEDE query above, this change presently affects 2899 questions, or about 1.5% of all non-deleted questions the site has ever received.</p>
