Remain or accelerate

Friend of mine posted this question..

You are droning along at 270kts saving fuel, enjoying life and pondering whatever. You encounter moderate turbulence. You instantly remember the Va for your JetBag 2300 is 290kts.

Do you remain at the bumpy 270kts or accelerate to the book answer Va of 290ts.

Either way, explain your choice.

Thanks.

(FWIW, we are using the definitions of moderate turbulence and not a subjective one)
