Switch ordering in a 3750x stack

Question

Hello,
Does it matter which switch in a 3750x stack is the master (switch1)?  I have two 3750x's, one a 48 port poe and another a 24 port poe.  They are in a stack.  Now the 48 port is on top and stacking cables connected to the 24 port on bottom.  Of course the bottom switch becomes switch 1 and has interfaces Gi1/0/1 through 1/0/24.
They are both running 12.2(55)SE8 C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M (ipbase).  They are in staging now going to a new remote branch office.
I guess it really doesn't matter which switch is 1 and which is 2 does it?  When we get into the new office and I break this equipment down, then I will rack the 24 port on top and the 48 port on bottom then if that makes more sense.
Or I could change it, I guess by altering this line in the config right
switch 1 provision ws-c3750x-24p
switch 2 provision ws-c3750x-48p
to
switch 1 provision ws-c3750x-48p
switch 2 provision ws-c3750x-24p
Or do you think a 24 port as the master would be better.  If it has less ports to manage, maybe more CPU cycles to do master stack related things?

Cisco recommends the stack master not host stack uplinks.  As best as I can tell, this is to try to keep some CPU processing off the stack master.  So, in theory, having the master on the switch with the fewer ports might be "better" too.  (Also if only one uplink, keep it off the stack master.)
As higher stack priority doesn't preempt (when a member joins a stack), you cannot guarantee which switch is the stack master unless you manually oversee the stack election.  So, personally, I don't try to control it.  Also, if the switch stack is forwarding in hardware, as it should, I wouldn't expect such forwarding to matter much to the switch running as master, i.e. available CPU cycles, for master needs, should be the about the same on any stack unit.
