WebMercator.ToGeographic vs Geocode

Question

Hi,

I just ran into a situation where I had to choose how I would achieve geographic lat/long coordinates for a particular location -- I have both physical address, and webmercator coordinates available. So if I want to get the geographic coordinates, which call will be cheaper (licensing wise)? Should I call the ToGeographic function to translate the webmercator value? or should I pass the physical address to AddressToLocations function?

Thanks

I just realized that my map's projection isn't webmercator afterall. So I had to use GeometryService to convert it to geographic coordinates. And since I'm doing the translation in the serverside either way, I'm not worried about what's more cost effective.
