my 2 cents:
1) your cards were not downgraded because "SGC is a harder grader". nor would it be the case vice versa. grading is tougher today than even just a few years ago. I regularly cross/crack from PSA to SGC and they are downgraded most of the time.
2) grading is a crapshoot.
3) I am not sure I believe that crosses are downgraded due to grader biases. A lot of people think this, but I personally believe it is due to number 1 above- grading became a huge business recently, and it got tougher.
I also went with SGC , mainly because I want my cards displayed in the same holders. I now understand why PSA cards sell for a premium. its just easier to buy slabbed from your grader of choice - and PSA has a lot more cards.
