Is a crossover submission a good idea?

I have a few really nice coins graded by NTC and NGC that I would like to have placed in a PCGS holder. I have heard that it's better to break them out of the holders and submit them to PCGS as raw coins. The reason was that PCGS would probably downgrade them if I sent them in the holders since their competitors certified them. Please tell me what you think? Break them out and send them raw or do a crossover submission?

    If you are confident about the surfaces, and don't think the coins could be BB'ed for artificial color (if they are toned)... I would crack them out before submitting.

    That's if you are truly intent on them being in PCGS holders.

    The above was an opinion, and nothing more.

    In most cases I would crack them out. What are the currently assigned grades and coins in question? This could also make a difference. Also, does the value (if in a PCGS slab) justify the expense?
