Power Chords Options

Hi GMCers

I usually played power chords with my first and third fingers. I realized that using the fourth instead of the third give me more hand flexibility. Am I losing something not playing with first third and fourth finger?

I think it's a matter of preference. I sometimes play it with 1st, 3rd and 4th, sometimes only with 1st and 4th finger.
