Post A-round startups in real life

I have an offer from quite an interesting cloud-related startup in SV. Funded by A-list VCs. But with basically the same base salary but no 401K, disastrous medical/dental insurance (nasty copays, mostly 80% coverage only) it would be financially suicidal. Not to mention only 10 days of PTO. And 90 miles of driving a day unless I relocate after only a couple months in my current apartment. It seems to be an exorbitant price for some exposure to hot technologies. So my first real offer from SV is very likely to be declined for reasons that have nothing to do with engineering.
