It's like this:
I need power, I'll have to take Mab's offer, but and after? What I'm gona do? Well it's all my fault, so I'll just suicide and avoid becoming a monster.
This whisper triggered how he was going to do his deal, not the deal itself.

Okay. End result is the same, in either case. I just think the road to get there also appears to have varied between the two times that he came to the decision.

I see the road like this, Harry in the top of the empire state. He has to get down there. (Get down there is the decision to grab power from Mab). Now how's hes gona get down there? (What he's gona do after he becomes the WK) So, normally he would take the stairs (longer and harder way), but because of the whisper he decide he will just jump.. (Quick and "easy" way out) (Plus stupid).
So there are two decision he has to make, I don't see the whispering affecting the first one, only the second.

See, the second time, he tried to use a hang glider affectionately named Uriel first. The first, after the whisper, he didn't even consider his hang glider.

Nop, the second time it was more like: Maybe I don't need to get down there, I can ask to the archangel to bring the ground up here.
Asking Uriel is trying to make a diferent first decision (where to get power from), it does not alter the second (how to avoid becoming a monster)..

It's your metaphor. Either way, he didn't even consider it the first time around. That's my point.
