What is the safest method to Add step to workflow?

Question

I need to insert a step like Accepted between Open and In Progress.

I can either create new initial step named NEW and create a transition Accept to Open

Or I can insert a new step between Open and In Progress and fix all transitions.

What is the easiest and safest way?

Adding new step on create was much easier and safer:  add 1 step and 1 transition vs. fixing 7 or more transitions
