With a rate that is 1.38% cheaper, I'd run the math and see the savings for switching could justify the interest penalty. Over a 5 year term, I think you should be coming out ahead by switching?

Saving $200/month seems pretty significant to me.
refinancing wiith a different lender, don't you have to pay title again? what about appraisal and origination fee?
