Not necessarily, but as Liam pointed out there are various ways to reduce the fiddle factor:  in the 
rectangle select's tool options you can specify a fixed size (width and height) so that you only have to 
worry about its positioning.  You can set guides at the precise locations you need them so the selection 
rectangle can snap to them, and if all else fails you can fine-tune the position manually in the tool 
options, too.

I doubt you've ever tried doing a selection rectangle to that size and getting
it exactly the right size and boundaries. It is a very slow and fiddly
operation.
