I've accepted that the likely outcome is variable over 5 years probably works out better, but I valued the certainty of the rate over the rest of my mortgage much higher and it eliminates any stress relating to rate changes. The fact that we're nearing the end of the mortgage as well helped minimize the impacts of the rate.

Congrats! Can't imagine what a great feeling that would be to pay off your house!
