At some point to future collectors it might matter if the case or cabinet is original to the machine, or at least correct for it's age but that time is a ways off for "modern" machines like 201s. It might make a difference for truly old machines from before 1900 but right now our age of machines are being converted into other things and their value is either decorative or in the use of them.
Do what you like best. It won't affect the value any time soon.
