    still not getting it sorry....

    are the figures you quoted mixed up maybe - or has my brain completely given up for the day?

    No not mixed up. Far to much focus on interest rates in isolation. Rather than targeting in reducing the capital debt owed by whatever means is possible.

    ok, I get that but I'm obviously doing something wrong?
    when I put 150 @ 4% over 25 years in to a mortgage calculator I get 237 repayable - 87k interest
    130 @ 6%, 25yrs I get 251 repayable 121k interest (rounded)
