The choice in who does the work can mitigate, to some extent, any negative change in value, and the higher the grade, the fewer your choices are in who does the work.

And, I would add that, to restock a high grade Parker, or any other make for that matter, simply because the original stock doesn't fit you well is the last reason a gun should be restocked... Go find a gun that fits you to your liking and keep a high grade gun as original as possible.
