I guess just need to either stick it out, probably lose the new job, or take the chance that I might have to pay it back. On the other hand if they do PILON me I could start work at new employer 3 months earlier and use the pretty much double salary to pay it back. 

Given that double salary, I'd take the risk. 

Yeah that situation would be fine, I wouldn't lose much. I think the consensus here is that the language doesn't specifically include - we will claw it back if you hand in your notice - they probably won't do it, which is the situation I was really worried about

Depending on the amount involved, what's wrong with getting proper legal advice based on sight of the whole contract?

I contacted a local employment law firm, they basically said, you can find this on the internet and you don't need us. Just not interested I guess.
