I'd take the "perfect" job.  Your being happy and inspired about your work lays the foundation for more prosperity to come.  (If you choose a job that provides the money but not the inspiration, problems could arise in the future.  (After a while you don't "feel" the money, and being less than happy can take its toll--on the work and home fronts.)

I can say that my responsibilities and compensation have grown--to my satisfaction--over the years.  I feel very fortunate to have the "perfect" job for me.
