It is a tough decision, in my mind, no matter what the parameters.
From a personal standpoint, my company, (NYNEX before it became Verizon) offered an early retirement package with full medical benefits. This was important to me, since my wife has a chronic illness. I needed more time to take care of her needs, and wanted to "lock in" those benefits, at the same time. For me, the decision was a "no-brainer." The benefits have eroded somewhat, and the pension doesn't increase, but we are both happy with the decision.
Another thing to consider is the stress level of your jobs. I had a lot of travel between New York and New England in my job, which I wasn't happy with.
That's about all I have to offer.
Good luck with your decision.
