OP, congrats on your pick of stocks and your profits! It appears to me that you answered your own question. By paying down your mortgage and still being able to deduct the bond interest as an expense, you will be "money" ahead and still have options if your life should change in the future.
I would still take Redwich's advise and run this by my CPA tax advisor to be sure that this would be the most profitable thing for you to do at this time.
