"This is where you want to be; upward career momentum and a reputation for punching above your weight are far more critical than most people realize. And more money can usually set both up in your favor."

Just job hop and use those moves as leverage. You can change your titles on your resume if need be. No one is auditing your resume to that level of scrutiny. Do they even check references for jobs anymore?

You always take the money. The only exception is when you want to use the title and jump ship - but then you should be careful what you wish for.
