surrender endowment or keep paying for 1 more year

I have had a surrender value on my with profits endowment plan which is due to mature in 1 year's time. At the moment the value is approx. £32.000 which will pay my mortgage off apart from £700 which I would pay off myself.
The question is would it be better to let it run for the last year or cut and run and take the money. I will then be better off by £103 a month that I am paying to Friends Life for the endowment plus £124 a month with no mortgage to pay.
Or keep paying for another year and hope for a decent terminal bonus
I just cannot decide what to do so any suggestions would be welcome.
With my luck I will keep paying in for another year and the final figure will come out at less than it is now !!
