I believe FHA requires MIP to be on for 5 years and then you have to have 78% LTV.....you need to calculate how much closing cost would be as opposed to how many years of paying mip to get to 78%

Yep, they force you to keep PMI for 5 years minimum, and 20% of the principal must be paid (I checked with mortgage company a few days ago).

Very unlikely that I could get the principal down that low in the next year and a half - it would take much, much longer than that.

Does having outstanding credit scores help with the refinancing rate??
