Yeah, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the new company to beat it by a bit. Tell them you'll verbally accept if they meet, say, 5-10% above the counter offer or even a one-time sign-on bonus because you'd like a change of pace anyway but want some compensation for taking the risk of making the jump.
