IFR challenge from Pilot Workshops: What would you do?

IFR Challenge:  no second chances—what would you do following a missed approach in low IFR conditions

In this PilotWorkshops IFR Mastery scenario, you own a Beech Sundowner equipped with upgraded instruments, an IFR GPS and an autopilot. The Sundowner will take you, your spouse and a family friend from Abilene, Texas (KABI) to McAlester, Oklahoma (KMLC). On approach to your destination, you execute a missed approach in low IFR conditions. Should you try this approach again or cut your losses and head to the alternate? You decide and then compare your answer with those from the instructors at PilotWorkshops.
