Specifically designed/designed specifically

[Fab!]

Hi,

I'm not sure of the good order for this sentence: "a method specifically designed for your vineyard" or maybe "a method designed specifically for your vineyard"?

Which one is the most appropriate?

Thank you!

I don't think there's any difference.

Both sound the same to me. They are stated in contrast to standard units that can be adapted to your vineyard.

Well, at first look, they sound the same but if we have a closer look (over-analyze?), doesn't the first stress on designed and the second on "for your vineyard"?

A method specifically designed for your vineyard. (The stress is on the underlined part)
A method designed specifically for your vineyard, ( not for anyone else's vineyard).

But that maybe a case of intonation rather than the word order, or I may have been simply over-analyizing it.

I agree that you have described a nuance that could be meaningful if we knew more details.

I agree with JS's reaction to EMP's comment. It would be helpful, Fab, if you could give us a complete sentence and a bit of context instead of just a fragment.
