Don't negotiate against yourself. - Let them give you an offer first and ask open ended questions - as others have stated.
Consider a "line item" approach after the initial offer - e.g.: "that model works but what about the financing I had previously?" When you get an answer to that, move to the next line item "the financing make sense but what about all of my modifications?
Inside of the structure above, don't be afraid to tell them what you really want - "I really appreciate you guys doing all this work to get me into a ORP like I had. I'm just wondering if I wouldn't be better off in a Pro. Is that something we can make happen?"
Finally, know what your best alternative is to whatever they are offering and decide what's best for you personally.
Good Luck!
