A couple years ago I made the jump from a 60k-ish (USD) job to a > 100k-ish job and while initially I was super excited, the actual dollar amount you get in a paycheck every two weeks doesn't change all that much. So unless you have kids to support and are saving every penny, I think the quality of work you are doing, things you are learning and the prestige of the job is more important than salary.
Having said that, I've always found it hard to turn down new opportunities;) So if there is a way you can make this one work for you - take it. Maybe if you take the initiative you can rise within that organization and take on greater responsibility over time. Tough call though.
