Only a little, if at all. You could always start with Hunter's Machete and some Health (or maybe Mana) Potions, then farm until you have enough for Tear and the first upgrade of whatever Jungle item you get, or just get Tear on first back and postpone the jungle item upgrade until your second back, then grab a Pickaxe and upgrade the Machete. So one would postpone the other, but not by much.
