Is there any reason to reconstitute at 5 mg/mL rather than 2 mg/mL?

I have photographs before and after reconstitution if the visual detail matters.

I would like the axes of comparison first and the recommendation second.

I have tried the first option and it works; the question is whether the second is better rather than merely different.

What is the actual trade-off, and does it matter at the scale I am working at?
