Grading Question: Wembanyma Auto What Would You Do?

Curious people's thoughts on this.

I purchased a 2023 Topps Chrome Wembanyama Auto, still sealed from Topps. I sent it to BGS to be graded, and it came back a true gem plus with two 10s sub grades. As of grading, it is the highest-graded BGS copy of this card.

Here is my question: with it being .5 from a 10, would you just leave it as is, or since it should be a strong PSA 10 crossover case, send it to PSA because of the increased value of a PSA 10 over a BGS 9.5?

My initial thought is to keep it as is. A PSA cross-over would cost a decent chunk based on their prices, and with shipping and insurance, would it really add that much more value? Plus, there is always the chance that one day I could maybe have it looked at to possibly get a bump in BGS (not cracking it out of course either way)

Just curious people's thoughts...
