Going down a steep hill would there be any advantage putting it in manual mode and using the engine compression to help brake or would it be the same in auto mode?  In other words would there be any advantage putting it in manual mode as I have never tried this?

I have a 2018 700 deluxe I bought new and love it.  I use it for hunting and I have always used it in automatic function.  I just got to thinking and need your input as I have never tried this.  Going down a steep hill would there be any advantage to put it manual mode and use engine compression to help slow it down or would it be the same thing in automatic mode?  Thinking it might save the brakes if it would help
