Cracking Beckett slabs makes me nervous. Those things could survive a nuclear bomb. If it were a SGC or a PSA slab, I could see popping it and submitting it au natural. But you better have some goggles and a jackhammer if you're going to try popping a Beckett.

If you're crossing over for aesthetics, a drop of a half grade shouldn't matter. If there's a chance you're looking to sell, I'd leave it as is. By the time you factor in the cost to cross it over, ship it and insure it, you're eating into your profit margin unless you are absolutely certain it will cross over successfully. But SGC is going to be harder than Beckett when it comes ti vintage.
