Default Quality reduced when smoothing

Hi you all guys,

I've done a 2D hexa mesh with quality over 0.85 (see picture 1). Then I've converted it into unstructured, I've checked quality and it is obviously the same. But when I smooth it, dor 60 iterations forcing ortogonality in wall surfaces I get a way worse quality histogram (see picture 2).

The question is: Is it better to work with the non-smoothed mesh or does it worth it to use the smoothed with reduced quality?

Thanks!
