Yes, that is the tradeoff. Submitting to federal justice would be the moral high-ground, and a tactic of classical civil-disobedience. Doing that, however, would effectively silence him; it would be up to others to make arguments on his behalf. Who can say whether that would be more effective than the course he's taken.
At the same time, it's pretty brazen for his critics say that he hasn't sacrificed enough, that if he was sincere about his motivation he would have sacrificed more.

It's as if all those people that escape North Korea to spread word about the abuses there must go back to face the ire of that government or we won't believe them. As for the immature people out there with sad debating etiquette, I'm not comparing the US government with the North Korean government, it's just an example.
