Guide Speed PHD2 and Mount speed EQMOD

Just bought a new 60mm guide scope for my 8” f5 newt located south coast NSW and will keep my old 50mm guide scope for my 6” f6 newt located in Sydney. When I added the equipment profile for the new 60mm guide scope in PHD2 I noticed in the Calibration Step Calculator that I had previously used a guide speed of 1.0 x sidereal. My mount settings in EQMOD were 0.5 x sidereal
I’ve been guiding ok with these settings in PHD2 and EQMOD for over a year now
Is there any reason or advantage to change the guide speed in PHD2 to 0.5 x sidereal ( the same as EQMOD )

Any advice or personal experience greatly appreciated

Thanks
