Would you take lower rent for a better tenant?

Hi everyone! We have a house we going to rent. We could get $1250/month. We have a couple that has rented from a family member of ours for the last 10 years. They’ve never paid late and kept the house immaculate. They want to move across town and inquired about renting our house. We would rent it to them for $1150/month because that is what they are used to paying. My question is would you take the $100/month loss to get a fantastic tenant with impeccable rental history? Thanks everyone in advance!

100/mo is lot less than turnover and repairs... I would.
