I honestly don't see a difference.  As long as the original parts are kept
with the machine and the replacement screws do not somehow do damage (i.e.
wrong size, wrong threading, etc.) to the case then it doesn't affect the
machine negatively.

Unless you can come up with a good reason why this should not be done.
