I should also add that the request for the interview was from my would-be boss and it's a small company.

So likely wouldn't have a substantial gain in 401k, LTI, or insurance over what you currently have?

20% is a steep drop, but personally, I would take that decrease if I could find a role that allowed me more freedom to enjoy life.

I don't know what your current situation is in those regards.

I would call him directly and explain the situation and ask his opinion. If he is the type of guy you want to work for, he will appreciate your honesty and would probably remember you if something changed in the future. He could probably also give you an indication of other perks and if they would be willing to negotiate their listed salary.
