Hah yes, "minor details".  If something wants 2A @ 5V, best to find it 
that or as close as possible with the little bricks.  Bigger is ok, but 
as Rusty says, too big might expect different load expectancies and cook 
your device, too small it'll flake out with not enough.

All this comes with some implied "don't blame me if you blow up your 
device for not using the original part or understand electrical 
engineering yourself to engage in these mix-n-match shenanigans" 
disclaimer.  :)

Of which I am not an ee, so trust nothing, I just know enough to keep 
from electrocuting myself when hacking things.
