@comicginger1789 I think your take is spot on.
What matters more - another sig on the book you love, or the grade on the book? It, for the most part, is still the same book unless the last person to handle/sign it messes with it. If you care about it from a sales perspective, ok, leave it don't add the last sig and keep the 9.6. If it is about owning the book "forever" and you want the sig then I'd send it in regardless of the grade they send back. It is all subjective anyway.
That book is beautiful either way.
