Mash Instead Of Steeping?

[hatchor]

Hi all,
Quick question hoping for a fairly easy answer......
When using crystal with other base malts, what are the repercussions of mashing with the non-crystal malts instead of steeping the crystal by itself? First couple of forays into grain saw me steep crystal by itself, but my last couple of brew days consisted of me mashing it in with the pale, vienna, munich, Marris (or whatever else I used).

Any benefits to steeping the crystal by itself, or can I make it easier on myself and just mash it in with other grains?

just put it all in together in the mash, no need/benefit in steeping seperately.

Mash the lot together hatchor, saves a bit of time.
