fun fact, at my last position the CEO brought in small-farm bacon from a place in vermont for everybody around christmas. My house stunk like a campfire. It was wonderful.

This sounds right. As an employer, I always admired people trying to positively negotiate a higher rate. Showed me their hutzpah, as long as it was done in an exploratory & respectful manner. Ask if the salary is set or negotiable.
It's a startup so total flexibility is the answer. I have no leverage however, no other jobs lined up, and there were other candidates they brought in, but I'm their first choice. Their offer is above fair, it's fantastic. Other benefits are normal, average, plain, nothing special but adequate (decent health care, no 401k match, great bonus money). I think the reasonable thing in this instance is the offer I received...!
