Let's table this for now, put a pin in it, get some synergy going with the boots on the ground, get our ducks in a row and go after the low hanging fruit, then work hard-play hard for awhile, "pivot" to the "new normal", peel the onion, open the kimono, do a deeper dive then have a "come to Jesus" moment and think outside the box.

You haven't spent one extra dollar that you were not planning to direct to early paydown anyway, but you get the fruit of your labor earlier and I think it makes more sense if you are planning to stop the w2 job relatively young.  

That was low hanging fruit.

Later on, as you have acquired more, I would lean back a bit and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
