I would accept the counter and stay.
A new job plus 2 hours of commuting will mean a lot more time and expense. Commuting in particular is a waste of life. When I switched to work at home, saving the commute time was huge - and I only had a 20 min. commute. Also, you need to factor in taxes to the cost argument above. $3000 in gas expense is close to $5000 in marginal salary.
But, by far, the biggest reason to stay where you are is that you do not seem excited about the new job! Why go through all the grief if it doesn't sound fun?
