Color to B&W conversion usually involves major transformations, not just
blindly converting to grayscale. For instance, the Channel Mixer lets you do
things like set the red to 150% and the blue to -50%, to make really dark
skies. If you're like me, you'll probably yank the curves all over the
place, too. By then, you'll have swamped any minor differences in the color
levels you get from using different white balances.
