I had a similar situation (but with Microsoft), and although in my case it would have been a net improvement in income (probably), there was impact on family and stability to consider, so I declined the offer. I think being aware of priorities for each person and each phase of life is important. There's times when big name or (relatively speaking) big salary is the prime factor, and that's great, and go for it! There's also times when being close to family, staying rooted, and being stable is the prime factor, and that's ok too.
