Well it's up to you but the "normal" price of that virgin bundle is more than £80 per month and you've quoted your Sky normal price as £69 per month. Is it worth switching? Well what will Sky offer to stay? Do you see yourself switching back when Virgins normal price comes in after the end of the discounts? All this switching can be a hassle.
