I do not think that companies think of employee loyalty in the same way they used to, at least in the larger companies. Therefore, you should not be expected to have loyalty except to paycheck and benefits.

I expect that the company knows they can't get along without out, but they should also know that you'll be gone soon. I expect that the issue is not just money, but might also be opportunity for advancement. Under that situation, taking the counter offer still won't give you the opportunity for growth you may be seeking.
