Multiple finger numbers vertically

When entering multiple finger numbers on top of each other, e.g. for a chord, I've used two methods:
1) Click each note and then a finger number.
2) Click any note, click a finger number and type all the finger numbers pressing ENTER after each one.

Apart from being able to manipulate each finger number individually for method #1 (e.g. the position - often times there is slight misalignment), are there any differences between the two methods that could prove important at some point and I am missing?
