Front Door Saddle

I’m about to install a new stone saddle for the front door of our traditional Brownstone. Which is the better way to install it?

I can either make the stone saddle a rectangle, and slide it under the wood door frame by cutting the bottom of wood door frame slightly so that the saddle fits snuggly under it. Or I can cut the saddle to fit around the existing wooden door frame.

And experience with either way?
