Barrell adjuster - question

Hi folks,
Im playing around with my RD and I have a question reg the initial position of the barrell adjuster. Just wanted to ask here first before just trying it.
When installing the shifting cable its advised that the barrell adjuster is screwed all way in. No I think if I keep my barrel lets say 2 full turns away from that limit it should allow me to adjust the position of the derailler cage in both directions, as in my case I feel it could do a tiny adjustment but the barrell is all way in.
What do you think?

set the lower position with the stop. fit the cable and then adjust the tension to get the shifting correct then set the top stop screw.
do not use the barrel adjuster to set the position.

The way to think about it is the cable moves the derailleur but the stops define where the movement starts and ends and also stop you running the chain off the cassette. It all has to be right to work.
