I went through your situation about a year ago.  I left my job (that I really really liked but had to drive 30 miles one way in 70 MPH bumper-to-bumper traffic) and took a job 6.5 miles from home for more money.  Do I like the job better?  NO!  Do I enjoy my drive?  YES!  My stress level is way, way down, and instead of taking 45 minutes to get to work, it takes about 15.  The extra money was a bonus (plus not having to use as much gas each week) and I went from professional dress to business casual most days.  However, I've not been extremely happy at my new job.  No amount of money can make you like your job.  I think if I had to do it over again, I would probably make the same decision.  I do have more time for my family, and our priorities have changed to focus more on our children and less on our professional lives.  I agree with all the others, you really should make a pros and cons list and go with your "gut" feelings!
