I think it depends on how confident you are that the 'other investors' you mention want to invest.

If they want in, you could be seeding an ego battle which your startup can leverage to get better terms.

If they don't and start dissing your startup then you could be shooting yourself in the foot.

I guess we'd rather sit tight and let our product do the talking. The more I think about it, the better that strategy seems!
