I personally would be careful about making lateral moves unless one of these locations looks very appealing to you. You've got starting over (and the dreaded first year pay) to think about, not to mention the possibility of things changing. Hopefully, the numbers give you an idea of the strength and or availability of each base. There really isn't much better data to go by that I'm aware of.
