It's difficult to calculate what the change would be (it may be more than I'm estimating). Like I said in another post, this particular strategy is sort of half-baked, but still, the logic is sound.
For an example of someone that did do the math on how restrictions effect the time to brute-force a password (which, remember, is almost never the method actually used), see https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/keyspace-of-a-password.230537/#post-1701799
