The idea is to position the weight closer to the rotation axis. So you may be able to achieve balance with the heavy weight in close, the lighter weight might also work out further. But the closer weight (even if it is heavier) will be easier for the motors for tracking (if you are using tracking drives).
If you are tracking with the slow motion controls, keeping the counterweight in close is still better, with less force on the worm, and potentially less subject to vibrations in wind or if bumped.
