Is consistency objectively valuable for it's utility, or this this just some non factual thing you say - akin to boo/yay? Is utility objectively valuable, for that matter.
I get that you used "grand" to make some sort of distinction. You appear to believe in the objective value of consistency or utility, just not a grand objective value to either (or anything, presumably). Moral realism is based on objective value, not grand objective value, whatever that is. Similar to the difference between meaning, and ultimate meaning, whatever that is.
Consider the question "is it good to be good?" Yes, ofc, it's tautologically true that to be good is good. It doesn't need to be grand tautologically true (whatever that is)...to be tautologically true.
