I've heard you can lose accuracy with encoders of higher resolution as the interface can "skip" because too much information is coming in, especially if you turn the scope too fast.
Gearing down the encoders would have the affect of slowing the rotation of the encoders and preventing this skipping.
of course if you have low res encoders (like mouse encoders) gearing up would have the affect of increasing tics per rotation
