is it better to use shared_ptr.reset or operator =?

I'm trying to wrap my head around the new idioms for C++11.

It seems that with shared_ptr at least, there is a substantive difference between using new T() and make_shared<T>().

But what of resetting a shared pointer to point to a new instance of something. Previously, I would typically use reset(new T()) member. However, doesn't this suffer from the same problem as not using make_shared() in the first place? (i.e. it doesn't allow make_shared to allocate the object, therefore it is forced to place the ref count in a separate allocation instead of in the same allocation as the T itself?)

Is it simply better going forward to use:

mysharedptr = make_shared<T>(args...);

Or is there a better way?

And shouldn't reset offer variadic forwarding of arguments as make_shared does, so that one could write mysharedptr.reset(args...);?
