There are a lot of fluctuations. I did withdraws through bitcoin, I believe three times, and I ended up receiving roughly 8-15% less (after all transaction fees and change in price) each time. Each withdraw was less than $500, so the fees took out out a bigger chunk, but still, you never get a very good price it seems on the actual BTC.
I much prefer to withdraw by check. My bank sucks, and I have to wait like 2-3 weeks for it to clear (it being a foreign check), but at least I get the full amount.
