I think it's worse knowing, because up until then you can play the what-if game with some comfort in its hypothetical nature.
Being shown that alternate-universe you made the 'right' decision just plain sucks, because it's not like John can change things at this point - the info isn't useful in the way it would have been before the Expedition left. And we don't even know what happened to his universe's Expedition - he wasn't there to fly Elizabeth to the past, he wasn't there to wake the Wraith, etc. For all we know, they drowned on the ocean floor and were listed Missing Presumed Lost.
