I'm not sure that's your call to make.

IIRC it's more of a guideline than a "rule" Rules are in the policy
document where it says:

"PI space cannot be re-assigned or further assigned to other parties."

So if you are indeed assigning adresses to your customers, you need PA
space.    I'm sure that the competent professionals at the NCC have
pointed you to http://ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-471.html#9 already.

This means that a customer with

A customer is't "allowed" to do anything with your PI space.  You are
however allowed to use it to support your business.  If I were you,
I'd follow the advice of the NCC staff.
