Okay, nuanced methodology aside, again the principle is the same. In your case there may be less counterparty risk, especially if your LN wallet is self custodial, so you can again make an educated choice, do the sats need to be in cold storage asap, or can you wait for a low s/vB txn to clear the mempool? With increased block demand, the decision to settle the main chain will be a critical financial decision. Opening and closing channels, having unreliable peers that result in force closures, swaping sats back to main chain, will all have financial repercussions. Just do the math and make a choice about whether it’s worth it or not. Don’t forget that the next time you need those sats, there could be even more demand for block space. Think about why you want your sats where you want them. The days of playing with bitcoin and moving stuff around whenever wherever for cheap may be over, or may come around again, but making educated decisions will always be valuable.
