Default What would you do? Grading question

First, I'll say these cards aren't for sale and hopefully won't be for a long time, so factor that into your thinking. I was thinking of getting some cards graded, just some of the better ones and thought about these four cards. They are all upside down Piedmonts, with four backs showing(scan is flipped for better viewing). Three of them should get decent grades(no creases or flaws besides corners), the Davis is a little beat up.

The thing in my mind, is that I like the display factor, putting the backs together so it looks like a partial sheet. With that being said though, I don't just sit there and put them together like that every once in awhile. I usually look at the scan if I want to do that. So unless SGC/PSA comes out with a holder big enough for four cards, and they won't move around, getting them graded ruins that display aspect.

If these cards were yours and you planned out keeping them, what would you do? Grade them and look at the scan if you want to see them together? Don't grade them because it would ruin the display? Or just hold off on grading until it's time to sell? I've thought about all three choices for awhile
