I don't know much about either school, but just from what I am perceiving about how you feel about it, I say stay with Ursinus. It seems as though your intuition is telling you what to do, and for this kind of a decision, sometimes the best thing you can do is just follow your gut. Because the most important thing about a college, even more so than the kind of education or prestige you are going to get, is whether or not you are going to feel comfortable there.
Basically I'm going to tell you what I told Ben when he was torn between Muhlenberg and Chapel Hill. It's clear that academically, Wash U is the better school and in terms of reputation it's definitely up there as one of the tops in the country. But if you see yourself at Ursinus and you're already getting comfortable with it, then don't make the switch unless you think it's really worth it. You'll probably get into a good grad school so long as you keep a good GPA no matter where you go for undergrad, so I say stick with what you are most comfortable with and if that is Ursinus then go for it.
