SGC had a really nice special last month, and even better this month. No doubt they are slammed. Both companies seem to get submissions processed as soon as they can. I've had PSA subs take the entire 50 business days, which seems like forever, and I've had them surprise me by only taking 2-3 weeks.

The OP didn't say if he submitted on a collector's club special cheapest (50 business days) or the cheapest submission he could select at the national, where they heavily inflate their submission prices, and probably have quicker returns dates because of it.
There are some reasons to submit to SGC over PSA, because the two grade cards differently. Off-centered cards that would get a qualifier at PSA may be better to grade through SGC. Their recent membership specials were cheaper than PSAs.

I had a bulk order to PSA pop last week, on business day 51. I was happy with the grades, and knew it could take that long, since it's what I paid for.

PSA sometimes will pop a bulk order quickly (like your 2 week order), especially if they are all similar types of cards. But I certainly wouldn't expect that, especially on the heels of a busy time like right after the National, when many additional orders are received.

Default Business with both SGC PSA

Pre war are best in SGC
1950's - 1980's PSA
1990's & up Beckett
Obviously some overlap.

I went to the National too. Got lunch at Burger King drive-thru. Paid for Whooper, fries, and Coke, Got Whopper, fries and Coke 2 minutes later.

On way home I went to McDonalds. Paid for Big Mac, fries, and Coke. Got 2 Big Macs, fries, apple pie, and Coke.

Whoa Nelly! Burger King you suck! McDonalds is awesome. Never going anywhere else!

I'm sticking with my decision even if it doesn't follow general consensus and even if I prefer flame-broiling.

I have only submitted to PSA, and have never had an order take shorter or longer than the estimate at any service level. The grades were posted on my account on the last business day and shipped out the next. Their clock starts running when they decide to open the package thought so it's not necessarily X business days from when they receive the order.

But how many hours/days/months later did you get your food from macdonalds? Were you still hungry?

I disagree that an SGC 60 will always get a PSA 4. This may be closer to the truth with PSA's tightening of their standards. But I've seen superior SGC 50s over PSA 4s, with the exception of the latest flip design.
