Agree 100%. You are holding the cards here. What's the worst that can happen, you have to take the 2nd job? You are in a very good position. With the "maybe more, maybe less" and the fact that the guy is not returning your calls, I mighyt even rethink my priorities.

Congratulations on the job offer.
