It makes a difference to your experience level, as a type rating will probably be in a full motion sim so if you can get some exposure to this on your MCC when you're more relaxed, it's a good thing. It certainly helped me.
From the airline's point of view, they probably won't care, an MCC is an MCC and to them you just need the paperwork in place.
