mc cartridge loading

I currently load an Audio Technica ART9 at 90 ohms, the load 'inherited' from another cartridge, am pleased with the sound but recognize the manufacturer's recommendation that at least 100 ohms be used.  Changing load requires opening the phono-amplifier case, somewhat tedious.   Is increasing the resistance (decreasing the load) worth the effort?

Thanks for your response.
I might try reverting to 200 ohms, which is what is pre-installed in the phono amp, so involves removing the resistor I added in parallel without replacing it.
