NPBS 6.25 Exclusive Bond, worth it or something else?

Options
We have a decent five figure sum maturing in an Norwich + Peterborough fixed rate bond soon, thye've offered to reinvest it in an Exclusive 1 Year Bond available for exsiting bond customers, the rate is fixed for a year at 6.25%. Our question is, should we reinvest in this company (which we've had very good service from), or switch to another bank offering a higher rate? If so, recommendations please!!

    If you want to reinvest in a Building Society, I recommend the Chelsea Spring Bond paying 6.80% fixed for a year.

    Leave £100 in NPBS just in case they merge/convert.
