I find you still have STEEM POWER as you power down. Meaning your upvote value doesn't change in consideration to your STEEM Power value aside from percentage available when voting. I have elected to do it in order to access the STEEM for upvoters. You can also stop your power down at any time during the process to my knowledge. The value of your upvote is what changes when you power down. Powering down is optional. I don't see Powering down as a bad thing at all.

True but the thing is that affect the influence you have on the community and also affect the value on the market because if everyone "cash out" steem and sbd goes way lower. I will make a decision in this next couple of days and will let everyone know :)
