What is the financial status of your parents? Will you potentially be responsible for some of their living/health care expenses in the future? Is this factored into your long term planning?
Regarding spending a large amount: I agree it can be very hard if you have saved the funds in small LBYM increments over a long period. You might have an emotional attachment to the money. Perfectly normal. Best to separate this from the factors when making the build/buy decision. Also, consider the difference as spread over 30 years or more. On an annual basis it's not so big!
