Cutting — Immediate vs Gradual

I've been looking through past posts/the Wiki, but haven't found any resources so I thought I'd post.

I'm approaching the start of a cut following my winter bulk, and I'd like to hear opinions on a gradual cut — slowly decreasing my daily calorie intake — vs an immediate cut — setting my calories count very low below my TDEE.

Last spring, I did an immediate cut, going from 2,8000 calories to 2,000 overnight on January 1st. I lost 15 pounds in 8 weeks, but I'm pretty sure I lost all the muscles from my bulk: I was a stick.

This time around, I'm thinking of decreasing from my bulking calorie count (2700) by 50 calories a week to lose about 10 pounds by the middle of May. For context, I'm 185.

Any advice on whether this approach is worthwhile would be appreciated!
