Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And Im
still standing here
And youre miles away
And Im wondering why you left
And theres a storm thats raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles

A move to either inner strike will produce about the same gain (or loss) depending on if you bot or sold the IC. It's pretty much symmetrical. Toward the outer strikes the change will be greater to downside which would be less good for you if you had sold the inner strikes. Time decay would...

a- stock moves a lot, you win (intrinsic)
b- stock moves a little or none, you lose (decay)
c- IV goes up, you win (premium rises)
d- IV goes down, you lose (premium drops)
pick one from each pair and maybe net you win, maybe net you lose
