don't really understand tudster's concerns here

any fixed rate is just gonna equal what people expect the floating rate to be over the next few years.

So unless there are surprises, the two are going to work out very similar anyway.

obviously there could be surprises, in which case a floating rate could turn out to have been more expensive than the fixed alternative.
or it equally well could turn out to have been cheaper.

tudster - is your concern that we shouldn't be exposing ourselves to the risk?
