There is a difference in the method of reducing the gear ratio .
Doing it by the chain method is not uncommon, but the load ending up
on the transmission becomes greater as the transmission is still
turning at the same rate as before.
While doing the work at the final gear does not put any additional
load on the transmission.
Even Wes C. agrees on that .
Bottom line is to at least get the ratio lower to help overall
performance without consuming more fuel.

A minor drawback to the rear end change is the need to change the speedometer drive gear in order to retain accuracy. The power drive doesn't require this.
