I am tending towards the "money grab" side of the fence. There isn't a whole lot of difference between grades, so the existing system should suffice. The way I understand the WINGS service is that they make a distinction if your coin is at the upper end of the coin's grade. If there really is a need for this, I would think that the market would have long ago created a grading system with finer granularity, for instance MS60-MS90, with extremely small differences, bordering on the imperceptible.
As a computer science guy with a lot of background in artificial intelligence, and understanding quite a bit about how computers make subjective and objective comparisons and analysis that were previously impossible, I have been thinking that a computerized grading service that would work much like facial recognition could provide consistent grading with extremely tight tolerances. Visual processing has progressed to the point where computers are far more accurate and much more speedy than human eye processing, and computers never have personal preferences, bad days, hangovers, etc.
