Honest question. Would you rather stay in the Championship or get promoted and come straight back down?

I've been thinking about this a lot. If someone offered you a guarantee right now that we'd go up but come straight back down, would you take it?
On one hand, a season in the Premier League is incredible. The away days alone. Going to Anfield, Old Trafford, the Emirates. Watching the best players in the world at the MKM. The TV money. The excitement. The dream of maybe just maybe surviving and establishing ourselves.
On the other hand, look at what happened to Luton. Promoted, had a brilliant time, came straight back down, and now they're struggling in the Championship because they spent money they didn't have trying to survive. The yo yo effect can destroy a club financially and emotionally.
I think I'd take it though. One season in the Premier League gives the city a massive boost, brings in significant revenue even if we go down, and creates memories that last forever. The 2008 season in the Premier League was the greatest year in this club's history and we got relegated at the end of it. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
What about you lot? Stable Championship club or one glorious season in the sun?

Luton are actually struggling in League One after back-to-back relegations but I don't think that should be a genuine concern. We're not run well enough not to go up. What I mean by that is that Acun's model isn't like Brighton's, Burnley's or Brentford's; all sustainable clubs. We've overspent and wasted money on bad transfers and loans, agent fees and sacking various managers. Only by getting PL money, even for 1 season + parachute payments can we sustain things. If we don't go up this year then expect to see us cashing in on the likes of Hughes and Pandur, and rebuilding on a lower budget. Sergej would likely leave too as he's too ambitious to hang around in the Championship on a reduced budget
