Is it worth it?

I am a senior white male from Northern VA who has been accepted to a few schools. Right now I have it narrowed down to about 4:

Wake Forest
William and Mary
James Madison
Virginia Tech

On this list, however, I can pretty much rule out William and Mary. It does not fit my personality at all. I would not be happy there. The biggest dilema I face is in deciding if an education at Wake Forest is worth the extra $10-15,000 a year over going to either Madison or Tech. If it helps at all, I love Wake Forest and would go there in a heartbeat if money were no concern. I like the small size, great sports, beautiful campus, and being able to get out of Virginia. It has very strong business and political science programs, the two areas I am most likely to pursue. That being said, I would be happy at Tech or Madison, just not as much so. Any opinions on this dilema? Would a lesser education at either of those schools be worth not spending the extra money?
Thanks for your time
