Matching trans numbers

I'm getting an OD and rebuilding the trans for my TR250.

I can buy a rebuilt OD and trans with a core exchange from John Esposito 
for almost the same amount of money as rebuilding my own (original) 
trans and adding the OD to it. I have a core -- not my own original 
TR250 trans.

The difference is that if I have John rebuild my original, the numbers 
will match. This is a frame off restoration. If I decide to show the 
car, should I care if the trans number isn't the original one? Should I 
care for some other reason?

I know about the numbers matching thing, but never hear about it when 
people buy/sell -- eBay, or on this list etc.

Thanks,

Don Malling
