The commute would kill the deal for me (or my husband, who hates driving even more than I do). But if I didn't consider that, the one thing that caught my eye is the vacation policy. If I were you, and I took the job, I would get the amount of vacation that you want *in writing* in your contract. Time off is a lifeline and I, personally, would not want to depend on a vague sense of what's OK. Way too many things can go wrong with that, from nagging guilt ("is it *really* OK?") to change of management.
My husband (the big earner of the two of us) has negotiated for more vacation time at various times (at performance reviews and when changing jobs) and has ALWAYS found it extremely beneficial - nay, essential - to get it in writing.
