The same is true of the PMO. A balanced approach will definitely pay dividends and will not only ensure that the PMO is as effective and efficient as possible but will also aid the acceptance of the PMO by the rest of the organisation.

The risk to not doing so is to, at the very least, slow the return on investment of the new PMO down. Is the PMO model the right one?
