I would suggest that you might be able to make a difference, but 
defaults are selected for a purpose.  The only time I could really see 
messing with the defaults would be in couple of cases, specifically:

Where pppoe requires a smaller value than 1500.

When you actually find you're having a problem, as in my case I posted 
earlier.
