You say scope and ltd are important but 4 days and transition are your sticking point. If you lose your medical or your job gets outsourced because of week scope then the items you mentioned don't mean shiit because you'll have 31 days off a month.

Transition is a joke btw. I'm senior enough to get it every month but have to bid lines I don't want to get it and then pick up over top of it to get my pay up. You also end up working the first and last week of every month. I'm not saying give it away but for industry leading pay, retirement, scope, and ltd I'd kiss it goodbye and never look back. I sure wouldn't sell it for less though.
