You're going to be successful no matter which road you choose. You have skills people value that you can always use. Not knowing more about the details, I say go with the new opportunity with the guy that seems to want to work with you. Who do you want to spend the next x number of years with?

Definitely one of the biggest pros of the newly presented opportunity is the guy I'd be working with. And thanks for the encouragement.
