Thanks to all who posted in my thread. I seem to be getting conflicting information. Therefore, I think the best thing to do is to experiment using both techniques and learn for myself what is the best approach to moving bitcoins stored in Coinbase.com / Blockchain.info / Circle.com over to Armory cold storage on my offline PC. Thanks again for all of your comments.

If you're going to experiment, consider Testnet.

Goatpig,
Thanks for introducing me to testnet coins. I didn't know valueless Bitcoins existed for the purpose of testing. My question to you or anyone in this forum is whether or not it is possible to be scammed with testnet coins. Lets say I purchase 20 bitcoins from some fellow living in Alaska and I live in New York. Is there any way possible the fellow in Alaska can scam me by sending me 20 testnet bitcoins and not real Bitcoins? I'm asking this because I am a newbie and I would like to learn how to tell the difference from Testnet coins and Bitcoins and avoid possibly getting scammed. Any comments welcome.
