Overall, the new company's gave me pretty much everything you would want in benefits except 401K matching which isn't a big deal because the money was more than enough to compensate for the lack of matching.

My current company upped the ante big time to get me to stay. They will restore my benefits (15 day vacation, 401K matching, stock options) plus they are offering serious cash on top of it (extra $850 a month above what the other company is offering).
