Default Accurate Wing Ribs.

Will there be a noticeable difference in flight performance from glider wing ribs cut from a template and balsa knife (as accurate as hand and eye can be) or those cut using a CNC machine.
I'm assuming a slight error will exist but considering it's for an 8" chord 100" span thermal glider, will it greatly affect its flight performance ?
