What is the deal with the inconsistent 'wide range' of CGC grading?

Do you have to "pay" to get the grade you want?
As you may know, when submitting books to CGC, they base their fees, among other things, on the value of the comic book you are submitting. The higher the claimed value of a certain range, the more expensive it is to get your book graded. But if you state on your submission form a high value to CGC and pay their premium submission fee, does that mean you will get a higher grade for your comic book then it should really deserve? Or.... If you state a lower value for the book, does that mean they will intentionally lower the grade because you didn't pay enough for their insured value tier rate?

Of course, CGC says that their grading is unbiased. But how do you explain when It seems their grading is all over the place?

We submitted a large order to them last year, and books that were assessed a higher insured value in a number of cases came back with a higher grade than anticipated, but then, other books that were nearly flawless, but we only paid an 'economy tier' rate conversely came back at a lower grade than expected. What's the deal? This Amazing Spider-Man #21 above is an excellent example of this. There should have been no reason for this book to have not come back at least a minimum 7.0, or VF7.5, The grader notes show there is no internal or hidden defects, but we had submitted this book in among a number of other books using the 'economy' tier of $400 value instead of the 'Standard tier' of $1000.00 value, and low and behold... this book only came back just a 6.0. Go figure. Thus, we priced this book about the trending 6.0 grade, but I assure you, this book, for all intents and purposes, seems to be at least a 7.0 grade.

I didn't realize this book was trending at about $700.00 for a 7.5 grade, otherwise I would have used the more expensive 'STANDARD' tier. And this was not the only book. It appears there is an inconsistent trend of lower tier submission received a lower grade book. What do you think?
