It's better to hold off currently since things are and can change rapidly...
Like mons over 3000CP loses motivation at 10% vs. 1% for < 3000CP so if you had a Blissey at 2999, that's a ton better than one at 3000...
I think this will change though since it penalizes people playing harder/better...You're now incentivized to NOT be the very best really...
Woe is me I guess with my near 3100 Blisseys...
I did power up my name trick Vap to be closer to 3k (it was in a gym in the old system while I leveled), but Eevee candy is common.
