Nice but that matching 15% 401k can get pretty large over time.  

It is enormous. Effectively another $6,450.

Having a satisfying work life has value to it. You need to determine if that aspect has more or less than $5000 in value. 
 

"I've been offered an opportunity to do similar work for $x more, but I enjoy working here. I feel that my work adds value to your organization. Is there an opportunity to bring my earnings in line with what I feel that I am contributing to the operation?"

 

edit:so I just went back and read through the whole thing and see that you didn't need this. 
 

congratulations

They were quick to counter. That means they know they'd be boned if you left. I'm glad you get to keep the job you enjoy and a raise.

I could work 80 hour weeks and be a real ass to work for and double my income. 

Money really isn't everything. 

Congrats on the bonus.
