A Presumptuous Opportunity: Force-draw vs Natural?

I'm temptingly close to getting my first vial of M_____'s B____ the hard way, but there's a catch.
I currently have the Presumptuous Opportunity card in my hand, but I also have 7 Notability, which means I can also force-draw the same card using Favorable Circumstances. On the other hand, M_____'s B____ requires 5 (actually 7) Notability on top of that. I've got 7 bottles of Airag and 4 Tears of the Bazaar, so I need to convert the former into the latter first.
If I use the natural card, I can get 5 Tears, but I'd need a whopping 12 Notability to get M_____'s B____ from force-drawing (or wait for a second natural card, which could take forever).
If I force-draw instead, I can rebuild my Notability back up to 5 and use the natural card to avoid spending more. I assume that getting from 0-5(7) notability is easier than going from 7-12(14). However I'm not sure if force-drawing A Presumptuous Opportunity erases any natural cards in your hand. I know this is the case for Slowcake's Amanuensis, but I don't know if it's the same here. Does anyone know whether this is the case? I'd very much like to avoid burning 7 Notability for nothing.

You need to use the card - otherwise you will waste it (you can't have the same thing twice in your hand)

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

I ended up going with what marcmagus said. The trick is that you don't have to spend all 12 (actually 14) Notability at once. I bought Favorable Circumstances then got the fifth Tear using the normal card. Now I just need to get back up to 5 (7) Notability (and I just got the Amanuensis, so even that won't be a problem).
@Kittenpox: I agree, that is a lot of MW for one card, but I seem to be particularly RNG-cursed at the moment. This was the first time I drew Presumptuous Opportunity naturally for a while.
