Eh, scum has a purpose in the great chain of life ...
On a more serious note ...
I think everyone here just wants to make sure you are making this decision from a position of mental/emotional peace (and thus more likely from a position of certainty) and not from a position of emotional turmoil, which can lead to regret later when the emotions die down. I am guilty all the time of acting from emotions, and I am often filled with regret. Going to Retro could emphasize to you that this is the right decision, or it could illustrate that emotions are in control. It is often hard to see when that is the case. I don't think that going is a waste of time at all, even if the result is MORE certainty that D is where you need to go.
JMHO of course
