I would say it depends on who is accessing your IIS, how, and from where.

If it is being accessed from the public Internet, via a registered domain
name it should make no difference. Depending on how you have your internal
network configured however, it could make a difference internally. Is the
machine name used in any hardcoded scripts? Is there any drive mapping to
the web server going on internally? Etc.
