I vote Yes.
Maul being Grievous gives Grievous some depth, and makes him not so much of a throwaway character. It would also show that Palpatine has a history of resurrecting his apprentices and putting them in mechanical suits.

I think that would make it weaker. The first time I saw AOTC I was really enjoying watching Dooku. I kept wondering whether he had a lightsaber and would use any Jedi abilities...But then when he casually threw out some Sith lightning I wasn't happy. It just took away what I loved from the climax of ROTJ.
And by the way...Dooku WAS misled. although as shocked as he looked he didn't vocally protest when Sidious told Anakin to decapitate him.
Remember, Sidious was on a quest to obtain the power he needed. If he had access to everything form the start he'd have no need to mess with theatrics.
