Mags my pal- it is just 1.5 hours, not several states away . I would go for it, unless your quality of living and enjoying your surrounding would decrease (like someone else said). Perhaps you have already givin them a yes or no, but I agree that change is good, unless it is bad change, then it's bad, or if it's incorrect change, then it's just wrong.
all the best, -teh_orange
