I think you're very wise to consider all related costs before jumping in. It's not just the bond principal...be sure to ask for the Amortization schedule so you can see how much you'll pay for interest and admin fees over the years if you don't pay it off. It's quite an eye opener. Interest rates have gone down somewhat, but ours was 6.125. Pretty hefty.
