greg that is awesome!
it sounds from your post that you have the pros and cons worked out, but just a reminder if you end up having to choose between the two, money and benefits are important but not everything... the work you will be doing and the people you will be working with should factor heavily in your decision.
can't wait to hear the outcome!
