Bear in mind that they already spent lots of money one way or another on you before they made you the offer - at the very least, interviewing cost them in developers time. The worse that can happen if you ask more money than they offer is that they tell you "We are sorry, but we offered you the maximum our budget allows, but we will consider something in 6 months - 1 year", in which case will still be able to accept it.

It's not in their interest to dismiss someone they judge competent just because he asks for more money.
