If you were a "D" or under at the time of qualification, you should be able to fence Div. III also.
Did you qualify in your age group as well? That'd make three comps and probably worth the trip.
My son did his first national competition this year (JOs) and although he was eliminated in his first DE, he was pretty happy with the experience. Making it out of the pools was his goal, and he achieved it.
I'd say go if you can swing it.
