It also depends how rare the card is you are talking about. If you are talking about downgrading, say, a 1960 Topps Mantle, then you probably don't have to worry about supply, you will be able to find one in a lower grade and it shouldn't be an issue because the card isn't rare. If you are talking about a T206 card in an off back, where the total population for the card is less than 20, then you might not see another copy of that front/back combo for 6 months or longer. If you are okay waiting, then there is no harm in selling first. If you are worried you might not see the card again for a long time, and that matters to you, I'd secure the lower grade copy first before selling.
