Balance transfer vs straight paying it off

I have recently got a new credit card, a Tesco credit card.

Do you think it's better to request the balance transfer of my current credit card, or attempt to just pay it 'normally' from the new credit card?

    Just out of interest, why are you paying a 3% BT fee for only 9 months 0% when you could have got up to 22 months 0% for a smaller fee by getting a different, better suited, card?
