Are there any disadvantages to using a 4096-bit encrypted SSL certificate?

Question

I was recently requesting a SSL cert via GoDaddy and noticed this message:

Hi sorry for answering SOOO OLD thread, but the main point in "NOT" creating 4096 cert is, your CA cert will be 2048, so creating sub cert 4096 is pointless... when even having 2049 bit long cert will make attacker attack your CA cert instead yours.
