This is a decision only you can make. I would caution about getting caught up with the Jones. By that I mean, reading this board and thinking ER is just something you have to do. For me, I would rather retire at 55 with a larger check, than 52 with a smaller check. This is going to boil down to how you feel, and what you need. As others have suggested to people trying to make this decision have been counseled to see if you can get a couple months off. (How much sick time do you have) Try it out. Take the longest vacation they will allow before taking one of the new positions. Then set you date, at least in your mind, and work towards it. Of course if the new position is not offered, Decision made!
The bright side of going three more years is that there may be a change in National Health Care that may affect you.
