Re: School/funding advice?

go to where the money is. That's a fantastic opportunity.
You don't "owe" your first university any loyalty- you paid, they educated you, they offered you opportunities - but there's a better one available. I've seen far too many students stick with ridiculously underpaid or unpaid positions just because they felt attached to faculty members rather than trying to branch out and broaden their horizons & earning potential.
Later, when you have your shiny new degree and are in a financially more stable bargaining position, you can always return if a position is available there.
Also - going to two places looks better on your resume for the future. It means you were accepted and successful in more than one environment. Getting all of your degrees in one place can be a sign of a sort of "echo chamber" situation where candidates are told they're awesome just because they're playing into whatever pet projects the faculty has there, rather than that they're able to work more broadly in a field. that's not always the case of course, but I know I get a bit leery-eyed at resumes where all a persons academic experience is in only one spot, or worse yet, with only one particular prof.
