My experience has been similar to Faro's (see my debrief in my signature). I could notch up my score from 730 to 760 by pushing my quants score from 48 to 50. Given your background and with some dogged effort mind you, you have a good shot at improving your quant score.
I don't see any major downside to this strategy, barring a major debacle on test day, which I think is unlikely.
- If you get a lower overall score, schools will still look at your highest GMAT score.
- If you get a higher overall score, albeit with a lower verbal and higher quant, you should still be good given you would have a more balanced score then.
- If you get a higher overall score while maintaining the verbal score, nothing like it!
All the best!

I have a bit of a similar dilemma... Although I got 750, which I'm not cocky enough to claim that it's not a good score, it was the second lowest of all my practice exams. I averaged 770 on those and my Q somehow dropped to 48 on test day, far lower than all the others. I feel I can bump my score up by 20+ points by just keeping my current level for 3 more weeks and then resitting.
However, as the lawyer guy said (first lawyer I've seen around here, second including myself), I'm getting the feeling that 750-770, or 730-770 wouldn't make a big difference. I agree, though, that your Q could look a bit better.
Also, as far as I know a lot of the merit-based scholarship programs are based quite heavily on GMAT scores, correct?

. So you can give all your focus on quant this time.
