I expect you know about the powertochoose.org website?
I don't like gimmicky offers and have always rejected such things out of hand. Go with the lowest locked in rate offer. A 24 month contract seems awfully long to get 8.5cents, but then again that's not a bad rate so why not.
Your consumption does seem pretty high. I used 1061KWh from 5/8 to 6/7 this year and my house is larger than yours. Also have a pool.
Redneck saving idea. Assuming its only the wife and yourself, use a window unit to cool the bedroom at night, switch off the central air from 10PM-6AM. Read the meter to determine how many KWh you use overnight to estimate the savings and hence payback time.
