You will have more equity over the same time period (what you want anyway if your going to sell it) than a 30 year note. Going from a 30 year to a 15 year upped my payment about 75 bucks, but saved me 60 grand in interest.
Good on ya 328dude. You are one of the few people who look long-term instead of just looking at the monthly payment. Also, going to a 15 year means you will also
own your home a lot sooner too.
