Only you can answer which is more important to you. It is not a matter of you losing, it is a matter of which (based on your ideals) is losing less. And if there is no difference, then it really doesn't matter does it???

If they're as good as you think they are then making the deal a little more attractive to you would show some sincerity on their part, I would think.
