Regional Settings in My Site

Question

What is the difference between the below two steps to change the "Regional Settings" in My Site?

1. Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Regional settings -> Locale
2. My Settings -> My Regional Settings -> Locale (Uncheck the option "Always follow web settings")

Answer 1

Every My site is a site collection. Site collection owner can change the default regional settings as (s)he pleases because there are parts of my site that could be made public like Shared or public documents. Although it might not be used heavily it is good to have consistent options across site collections.
