Yup, but you may be wasting your time...
Why would wasting time be a bad thing? I think everyone should interview once a year to keep fresh. I don't think it would be a waste of time and if they ended up making an offer to the OP then he could explain why he needed more money. Like he said, the cost of living is 5% higher so that could be one of his arguments to get more money along with his experience in the position and what he can immediately bring to the company.
OP, I say go for the interview. The worst thing that could happen is they don't give you the money you'd like and you walk away.

In my experience, a phone interview doesn't mean much. I've gotten my hopes up a few times over a phone interview, only to have them dashed.

I'm saying if he goes down the path of a face to face ... He said the employer was in a different market, so he'd have to take time off of work, travel, etc... All for not.
I agree, if its local, its always great to do an interview. Keeps you fresh and polished.
ETA: The unknown are the other benefits... Do you know these? Similar 401k match? Health Benefits? LTI?
