You're the operator. You should know better than 99% of Pinsiders.

My opinion -

Pro: If they are asking for it they are planning on pumping money in. If they are paying $500 they want to make that back in fun. And then the resale afterwards.

But, how long before you normally rotate games?

Con: When profits start to drop are they going to get pissed when you want to pull it? Are they going to say "Hey, we put $500 towards it and want to to stay". If it gives them some say I say "no" it puts someone into your business. If you were not going to do it go with your gut.

I think it is great payback to them acting like A-holes in the Napster days. Think about it. They made their money on the game up front through license. Now, every dollar you make you get getting off their name without them being able to get another penny more. Keep it running.
