Default A dual Rate Question

I am relativley new to RC, and recently bought a Funatana - well I set up my radio with Dual rates as per the manual. Yesterday at the Club, I had 2 people telling me 2 different things. 1) The Fun Fly rep, said that my plane was cool as it was, even though he set up the low rate to be about 40% which is a little sensitive for me. 2) A pattern flyer, who told me that setting a low rate to learn is not a good thing, as it stresses the servos, and the feel is different. He said I should set my control links to nearest hole on the servo arm to furthest hole on the horns - then fly low rate at a much higher setting. He says this feels better to learn!! My Question is this - is it different setting it up to fly with less sensitivity on the servo arms and horns, or should I leave it as per the manual - i.e. furthest hold on the servo arm, to nearest hole on the horn, and set the low rates to be very low??????
