It is a personal decision, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
1) If you are going to buy a MS-70 coin, make sure to buy it slabbed by a reputable grader. I would only pay a premium for an MS-70 coin if it was slabbed by PCGS, NGC or ANACS. Even though other grading companies (such as ICG) may be just as accurate as the "big 3" you won't have the premium when you resell it.
2) You are paying for the grade, not the coin. There is next to no difference in eye appeal between a MS-69 and MS-70 coin, or even a top grade MS-68.
3) You pay a huge premium between a MS-69 and MS-70 with modern coins. And that premium doesn't exist with the same coin being "raw".
Personally, I wouldn't pay any premium for a MS-70 coin because you simply are buying a grade, not the coin. I don't think that the market for MS-70 coins will improve because, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a "perfect" coin and you are putting your faith in PCGS/NGC rather than the coin itself.
Assuming you are buying a modern, non-circulating coin, (about the only coins easily available in MS-70 grade by reputable grading companies) you'd just be best off to buy a raw example because chances are it will have about the same eye appeal for a fraction of the cost. You aren't going to find a worn silver eagle because they don't circulate, same with commemorative silver dollars and the like so -any- example you get of a silver eagle or a commemorative coin is going to be in the MS-67-70 range.
