I'd pass on the grading unless it's for your PC. The only time (in my opinion) getting less than mint vintage graded is if there's a significant value increase between the grades (some of mine the difference between a 3 and a 4 is $50+)
Now to address PSA being "more reputable" than SGC, I'm going to have to disagree with you. While I would never send a modern card to SGC, they actually are the favorite for really early prewar cards (at least amongst the core of collector's I hang out with). Vintage (post war) I tend to prefer PSA, then BGS for modern.
Just my 2 cents though!
