Job A/Job B Advice

Currently in Job A
Salary is $X. I enjoy it, although there is some major micro management from my boss all the way to the top. Professional position with good benefits, 8% matching 401k. A little travel and a few weekend work.
Have probably hit ceiling on advancement though, unless I want to get a graduate degree on my own dime. Not against that, but should be factored in.
Job B is smaller organization. CEO invited me to lunch a few weeks ago and pitched me taking over a department. Management opportunity, Salary is $X + 20%. Benefits aren't as good. No match on 401k so salary is really about 12% higher.
I think I would really be able to change this organization's future, and would have the freedom to do so, but they have had trouble in the past and have a history of laying off managers to tighten ship. Advancement is limited, but definitely possible. No travel. Literally could walk to work from my home as well vs. 30 minute one way commute.

How long has Company B been in business? How many people does Company B currently employ? What are Company B's revenues? What is your career field?

Are you ok with the salary/benefits you are currently making, or would the pay raise be the biggest issue for you?
Smaller companies - lots of opportunity, but the personal issues matter more. You really have to have complete confidence in the people running the company.
How much do you think the salary increase is due to more responisbility, vs the salary increase due to problems keeping employees?

Have you had the discussion with company B's CEO about how when they start performing badly middle management is first to go, did you ask why? What if he says this time it's different, well why?
Also what's the performance history at B? Does the leadership have any history running company's successfully long term or do they always tend to start doing well then flounder?
