Unless the "iffy" option holds actual negative value (and I assume it doesn't) it's still the best option because the overpay is negative value and the do nothing is lost opportunity cost (the value of the iffy offer). Remember we're talking about an overpay on an extension here... not fair or only marginally surplus value... the calculation would different on that.

I guess one catch is (unless its a wild gross overpay from day 1 which is possible) the overpay may have fluctuant value (I think maybe you are saying the same thing)
underpay years 1-?
fair pay years ?-?
overpay years ?-??
the net could be negative for sure, but maybe not as simple as negative from day one
