Enhancing the first 2 cards to max is a waste. If you want perfection, go for it, but otherwise, in a 4 card evolution, the difference between 4-7 and 4-5 (i.e. mash the first two cards without enhancing and then enhance each card to max before evolving)  is in the order of 1/10 of 1 % (about 0.08 %). so you'll see maybe 80 odd points more on a 10K card by using the more laborious process.

Also, the boost isn't fixed at 5K, it varies with the max value of the card.

A 4-7 evolution (the Max values listed on the cards in RoD) is about 86% of the card's total potential.(the 8-card max process explained above).

Good luck
