20% higher salary
Less stress (smaller company)
24 miles commute, but not heavy traffic
Comparing, health insurance are good in both, but maybe a bit better on new one...
No children, but wife and I thinking on family already, next year...

So its a matter of comfort (Staying where you are, working from home, and having a really short commute) vs finances 20% higher salary and a long/longer commute?
Other things to think about
:
Are you living comfortably with your current salary? Would you be able to raise a child (or two - as identical twins can happen in any family, and fraternal twins are hereditary in some families) on your current salary? Would childcare (as in babysitting/day care center) be a concern?
I know the childcare questions don't need to be answered right now, but they should be considered since you know you want a family.
