Indeed, it's interesting to see such a diverse collection of answer on this topic along.

Main reason why I prefer the color conversion be done in-house using untagged/generic CMYK is because when we need to reprint a project a few years down the road and using a different printer then we may repeat the same process again.

Most of our printers DO NOT return the digital files they converted and corrected. We are left with the original in-house files. Essentially, old files with wrong color profile (*cough* RGB), that will need to be convert and fix again. To me, it's not an efficient nor effective method in managing repeatable projects.

That said, for one-time projects, sending files (tagged or untagged) to printers for conversion is less of an concern to me.
