That is a sticky widget with some of the possible configurations of the
T-match.  However, if one has a good low pass filter installed after one's
amplifier (for above HF harmonics) and one has sufficient harmonic
attenuation in their tank circuit in their PA, then it really doesn't matter
does it.
