If you decide to turn down the new job(s), you could ask them if they will top the counteroffer. If they don't, well, you were going to turn them down anyway.

If you decide to turn down the new job(s), you could ask them if they will top the counteroffer. If they don't, well, you were going to turn them down anyway. Then: are you happy where you are? Will you be happy continuing in the same setting and in the same role doing the same tasks? (I would at my current position, as I still have too many ideas left to try.) Or is it a good time for a change in your environment and maybe see and learn something new and fresh? (I was in such a position before, and I didn't realize at the time that this was the case, so my changing jobs was just a lucky choice.) One more thing. Do you earn enough for you not to care about finances? It won't be long before you forget about how much you bring home, but if you choose the job that's not satisfying, you'll feel it every day.
