My two cents worth...
Money is a tool, but the one thing it doesn't buy is happiness. It seems as though you really miss the IT world and the job satisfaction you received from being a part of it. At the end of your career, when you take a retrospective look at your life, which do you foresee being the most proud/satisfied of/with? The money and benefits will work themselves out, but your internal happiness has to be genuine. Your friends, and most importantly; your family, will see through any attempts you might try to put on a good front.
I think you've already answered your own question; but it's always good to get an objective opinion. It took guts to write it all out and I hope you make the best decision for you. Lee
