I suppose this is obvious, but the lower than recommended value (0.5A) may blow prematurely or inappropriately, causing loss of an expensive fuse. Using a higher than recommended value (1.0A) risks damage to your equipment, if there is a critical event occurring above 0.8A and below 1.0A. But you said nothing about slo vs fast-blow fuse types. I'd advise you not to use a slo-blow if the recommended 0.8A fuse is fast-blow. That would be asking for trouble.
