I once bought a domain that I thought would be expensive for $150. I asked and was pleasantly surprised it was available for sale and cheap. So ask. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

But to also add - as someone who purchased a 3 letter domain name through escrow, but still ended up in a minor legal battle over ownership it’s worth doing some background on who the owner is...

100 times this. And to add, if this dilemma already is so difficult, then maybe you should make someone else in charge of these decisions so you can focus on the tech.
