All this discussion is interesting banter, but I think the OP gave up long ago. He had what he believes is valid reasons for switching, so just switch.
I find these "talk me out of this, or into that" threads quite humorous. Always come to the same conclusions.. if you want justification for a change, you will get it. If you want justification to keep what you have, you will get that too.
Reminds me of those stupid diet coke commercials.. "just do you". If you wanna drive a diesel (which I do), then drive a diesel. If you wanna drive a gasser, then do that. Why some people seem to need to get validation from the internet is beyond me.
Having said that, maybe the commercials aren't stupid after all, considering I remembered it, which is the whole intent of commercials.
