The only downside is overnight travel, which averages about 8 weeks per year.
Well I'm leaning towards returning to my old employer, but I will probably give my current employer plenty of notice and complete all my assignments before I leave. Thanks again!

"My back ground is finance and prior to that I was an auditor for financial institutions, which required quite a bit of travel."
Truthfully, I've always found auditing boooooring. Full of GAAS!
Of course, I refer to audits of financial statements of private companies. I don't know what "auditing" you do for these financial institutions, but it goes without saying in today's post SOX world auditors will never, and I mean never, lack for work. I signed my last audit report about four years ago and don't regret giving up audit work in the least.
Don't discount the cover a group health plan can provide you and your family as we head into the uncharted waters of Obamacare. (I don't recall you mentioning your current health ins. coverage)
Don't ignore the 401-k benefits either. Save or perish. Take the money & run.
If the company is small enough, that match % may increase with profitability. My firm matched 50 cents on the dollar.
Only downside I'm seeing is the 2 months away from home. Traveling will get old just as you will, especially with children.
Good luck.
