Lagering before vs. after carbonating

[Kershner_Ale]

Normally I rack my lagers to a corny keg when fermentation is complete and lager them in the keg (purged with CO2) before carbonating them. Would I notice any difference if I racked to a corny keg, forced carbonated, and then lagered? I don't filter my beers. I couldn't think of any effects CO2 would have on beer as it cold conditions but didn't know if I was missing something obvious.

I lager in the keg while carbonating. No sense in delaying carbonation while lagering. Yeast don't care.

Keg my ales, lagers and hybrids at under 2 weeks and put them on the gas at about 35F. Job done. All that's left to do is wait till the beer is ready.
