Should I stay or should I go?

I'm switching from British Gas to Scottish Power Jan 14 online fixed energy through Moneysupermarket, saving approx £129 + £30 cashback. British Gas have offered £200 to stay with no fix.
My bills are around £1,200 a year, so is it worth staying for an extra £40, around 3%? Are we fairly sure that bills will go up over the next 14 or so months?

    Presumably if they are not offering any fixed period, there is no early exit fee; take the £200 and switch anyway :)

    Even if there is an early exit fee, it won't be £200 so again take the £200 and switch.
