It would be a new challenge, to break me out of stagnation. A chance to navigate some major system migrations, and then work with the newer technology and add to my skillset.

It would be a chance to both have the advantage of more authority, while also suffering the stress of more responsibility.

It would be way out of my comfort zone, which is where I need to go in order to really advance my career path. I'm too comfortable.

Oh, that's it. I thought you just had gas.

It sounds like a pretty great opportunity to me. I'm assuming that you make under $200K right now so having an extra $20K(>10%) increase is pretty awesome. When you add in the real world education and career growth opportunities it sounds like a real winner.
