I reserve some uncertainty that I’m fundamentally wrong about how physics and anthropics work, so I’d treat the question the same as “how much money would I have to pay you to accept a ~10% chance of instant painless death”?
In other words, $20 definitely ain’t going to cut it, but a hundred million would. (I have a hard time estimating exactly where the cutoff point would be.)
It would be you as much as you are you of a second ago.
I had a hidden ugh-field about that one. It took quite a few repetitions of the Litany of Gendlin to grok it.
So, if I could copy you, then kill your old body (painlessly) and give the new body $20, would you take the offer? yes/no?

I’m confident, but not that confident.
Depends. Is the new body going to be here or ‘up’ in the ship. And is there a beam of some kind involved?
