I remember when I looked into grading, the cost of going to the convention (ticket price, parking price, drive costs, time waiting for the convention to happen, and time at the convention itself) off set the price of just sending the comics in. Perhaps it will be different for you. Also as I was new to grading, the idea of comics graded and cased at a convention seemed odd to me. As back then I thought it was done in a clean room type area.
Of course, there is the concern of sending the comics in so that CGC will get them in the condition you sent them. But packing properly isn't that difficult.
I'll look into the new cases tonight. I was fairly settled on CBCS for some older graded comics. For the brighter case and at times cheaper prices that I've seen, since CBCS doesn't seem to get some of the CGC premium yet.
