Would you consider the pay and advancement opportunities in position "a" adequate? Or would you be unhappy with the compensation?
If it's adequate (and only you can decide what "adequate" is), then go with "a" given the greater job satisfaction.
UNLESS, of course, the added pay in "b" equals or exceeds the proverbial "boatload", in which case I suggest considering position "b" for, say, 5 years, while living on WHAT YOU CURRENTLY MAKE, and saving/investing said "boatload" - then after 5 years, seek a position inside or outside the company that gives you the satisfaction - having banked a boatload of cash.
But, that's just me.
