I'll admit I am a fan of TPG, but if you see my collection, you'll immediately see that I don't really care what grade is assigned (within reason  ) 
I slab for aesthetic and protection reasons mostly.
 
This Grove is a stellar card , especially given your comparisons! Nice job! | 
	
 Beautiful Grove! 
I'm with Brian.  I don't collect slabs, but I'm a big fan of TPG.  I'm not a part of any registry, so I can breathe easy when it comes to collecting.  I'm willing to bet a lot of registry guys/gals know some of the time, they aren't buying the better appealing card and are just buying the number on the slab...which is quite sad
