Should I trade these 3 cards for an M15 booster box?

Not sure if M15 has that much value as far as viable cards that will impact Modern, but it's a new set and I'm like a kid on Christmas and just want all the things. Talk me out of it. Or talk me into it.
These are the cards that I can trade to my LGS and how much they will give me (matching the "buy" prices for store credit on Channel Fireball):
Ajani, Mentor of Heroes - $15.60
Elspeth, Sun's Champion - $15.60
Foil Abrupt Decay - $78
That's a total of $109.20 which covers the $99 pre-order price for an M15 box plus tax. I'm just worried that Abrupt decay will shoot up once it rotates out and I'll be left wishing I held onto it.
tl;dr: Keep my foil Abrupt Decay in hopes it goes up in value or trade it in towards an M15 booster?

Absolutely keep the Decay. It'll probably be around $150 soon after it rotates.

Keep all of them I'd say. Core sets usually aren't that great unless you're chasing one specific power card. In that case just buy the card

Considering it's already out of print, I don't see Abrupt Decay going up purely because of rotation. Not saying it wouldn't go up, because surely it will, but not because supply increases.... derp.

I wouldn't do it. Just buy the individual cards you want, you'll save tons of money and probably get to keep your Decay.

Keep the Decay. It'll be worth double that. Its probably the closest thing RTR has to the next Snappy.

Seems like a suckers deal. Chances are you won't get your money back in the box. Keep the foil Abrupt Decay , trade away the Standard stuff if you're not going to use it.

Keep the Decay. I had a foil decay and a foil deathrite shaman and I held onto them. So happy right now!! The decay will definitely go up over time. Be patient and you'll have a $100+ card on your hands

Keep the decay. Don't be a fool. Over time that card will be worth hundreds.

Yes, keep the abrupt decay
