Retake SAT I if Math section was bad despite good SAT II Math 2 scores?

Hi everyone.

I'm an international student applying to colleges this fall. I've only ever attempted SAT I once, which was in June 2011. These are my scores:
CR-730
W-760
M-680

Now, my math score is a real buzz-kill, so I'm not sure whether or not I should retake the SAT I? I'm applying to TOP colleges, and I'm an Arab student, so I need to make sure all my scores are up to parr.

However, if I got a 780 in SAT II Math 2, then do I still need to retake SAT I? Or will colleges see the one year gap between my SAT I sitting and SAT II sitting and give me the benefit of the doubt?

I've signed up for next week's SAT I, but I really don't want to go for it if it means risking my W and CR scores, since not all colleges superscore.

What do you think?
