You don't get to your late 50s without developing some good instincts and a sense of your tolerance level for things as annoying as commuting. Anyway...
Go first to your present employer to see what they can do. Obviously, don't threaten to leave; just tell them the fact that while you enjoy your present position, it's a very appealing offer and you'd like to find a good reason to justify staying. They might just come up with some more money. This is a negotiation. But be prepared for them to say, "Well, OK. See ya!" You know the politics, so use your judgment on this. And go in with a number in mind that would make you stay. $X-thousand a year, or some other perk.
Also see what could be done to make the new gig more attractive and make the aggravation of distance, etc., easier to deal with. As others note, can you do research of interest, do more travel, maybe something you've long wanted to do? It's not just about the money.
Just my $0.02.
