I agree with you, and that is exactly what I did, even if I did take a 10p loss or so per share, the dividend more than compensates, and as it is in a SIPP, non difference whether it is income or capital gains.
I also did something slightly different, I purchased more when it went ex div, so that I could bring my average down.
