Probably not. If you don't see performance or reliability problems, no.
It's conceivable that one switch can't do 100MB full duplex to every port
at the same time. It might, or might not, be the cheaper one. Without test
equipment its hard to say. (I've got a 5 port Dlink that I bought about New
Year's, which has been great.)
