Retard timing via ECU vs CAS

Retard timing via ECU vs CAS
Noob here.
I recently purchased a 95 Miata 1.8L and the previous owner advanced the timing via the CAS. Being that it is much hotter where I live compared to the previous owner (NC vs OH) and me not caring much for the reward of advanced timing versus it's risks, I want to set the car back to 10 degrees.
I was planning on boosting the car at some point, a MS is on my list of one of the first things to get. Does it make a difference for me to change the timing via the MS rather than reversing the changes the previous owner did on the CAS? Or is it OK for me to change the timing via MS and leave the CAS wherever it is now.
Thanks!

EDIT: I'm full of derp today. Only works with 96-97. Anyways, yeah, just break out a timing light and set it back to 10 BTDC.
