I am wanting to give a full year or so before sending mine in. I want to see prices realized for 8.5's at auction first. I'm not going to believe the hype for right now....
Personally I don't see the need. I won't pay more for an 8.5 than I was going to for a strong, well centered 8 anyway. It comes down to the card, not the .5
In a way it can almost backfire. When I buy SGC slabs I stay away from the .5's - I find the difference in the appearance of the card is always very subjective, and I don't need SGC to tell me it's high end. So why pay more just because it has the .5? Now I more or less avoid the PSA .5s for the same reason.
Well if my recent raw sub is any indication, just got back a 31 card sub that only came back with one .5, wtf??? 1 out of 31 cards, I just dont get it. If they are being that stingy it will be a while before I send any in for the bump.

A resub is a couple bucks... would you want your cards bumped it they deserve it? Regardless of prices realized?

Whatever tier the card would fit into when graded.
Thus a card with a 2000.00 value would be 60.00.
and so on.
