When artist collectives face conflicting opportunities

Our artist collective has been together for five years and we just got offered a major exhibition opportunity, but three of us think we should take it and two think it's too commercial and will compromise our experimental work. The people who want to say no are also the ones who've been carrying more of the conceptual weight lately, and we all know it but no one's saying it.
