I personally would choose less stress...
When I am stressed, my health really starts to suffer, and I find the consequences of such stress isn't worth any amount of extra money. I took a job that paid less to have less stress in my life...and guess what? I ended up making more money in the long run and having a lot more fun doing it. I ended up with a job I loved instead of loathed, and got my soul back in the process.
If you divide it out, after taxes, I'm pretty sure you'll find that that supposed extra 10k a year isn't that much after all. Break it down into a monthly figure, a weekly figure, a daily figure. Then ask if it's worth it. If it is, I recommend learning some stress management techniques--I like yoga.
