You do not mention salary. Is the startup also paying more than your current position? I would put a lot of weight on the real money you are receiving now. Especially if you like your current team. I've had stock options pay out OK for a relatively small exit but it amounted to a really good bonus, not retirement and pay off the mortgage money.
