Note that probabilities estimates from logistic regression are often not well calibrated. This typically doesn't matter if you're using logistic regression to create a classifier. However, if you are making cost-sensitive decisions based on probabilities predicted by logistic regression you make run into trouble. There are a number of publications on calibrating probabilities that suggest fixes.

All that said, I doubt it makes a difference in this case.
