Current Consultant at 'Staff Aug' firm vs. Possible PM role in non-Financial Services firm

Currently, I am a consultant at a firm that seems to be transforming itself into a 'staff aug' firm. I think I have a possible offer as a PM role within a non-Financial Services firm.

I've mapped out a list of items for reasons on why I should stay or go. Does any one have any suggestions on how I should proceed?

Why I would leave "Staff Aug"?
-feel underpaid (high concern)
-possibility of extension on current project which I hate (high concern)
-bleak future engagements/pipeline; staff aug roles (medium concern)
-no transparency to fellow consultants inside the company (med concern)
-increasing amount of people are leaving the firm and going to other firms (low concern)

Why I would stay at "Staff Aug" ?
-resume longevity. I've bounced around a few jobs in the past few years. (high concern)
-staying within consulting (med concern)
-staying within Financial Services; is it too hard to come back? (med concern)
-possible EOY bonus/promotion; I've worked hard this year and interested to see if there is "growth opportunity" (med concern)

Why I would join non-Financial Services?
-salary would be higher by roughly 15% (high concern)
-public sector experience (med concern)
-possible great benefits--public sector (med concern)
-less stress than my current role. Not sure(?) (high concern)
-real PM experience with a new focus on "Finance" (high concern)

Why I would NOT join non-Financial Services?
-seems too eager to hire; sounds like they are in dire need of help (high)
-seems as stressful or even more stressful than my current role. They are currently swamped (high)
-they seem to have high expectations; maybe insecurity from me because I feel I don't have real 'PM' experience (high)
-office location sucks (med)
-job has a specified pay structure (lack of future pay increase/bonus?) (high)
-not sure if I want to become full PM and leave Financial Services
