I admire your morality Jeff. Did you submit for the crossover still in the GAI slab? If so, PSA can be pretty bias on thier review of GAI slabs (IMO). I would crack it out and try again (submit raw) depending on the value.

To answer the OP's original question, my experience with GAI to SGC has been .5 to 1 grade lower on average. I have probably submitted about a dozen over the years this way and most of the time still in the slab going to SGC. I probably would not keep it in the slab going to PSA if I tried that way.
