The extra $11K is going to save you $50/month. Consider what that $11K could be worth in 30 years if left in the Roth, then think about whether it's worth it to you or not. Financing $11k over 30 years only amounts to $17,905.65 over the full 30 years at 4% interest. Do you think that $11K would be better served tied up in your house or in your Roth?

If it was me, I wouldn't touch the Roth unless I was fixing to lose my house or something, but it's really whatever you think is best for you.
