Loyalty is really important to them and I've seen too many colleagues end up getting let go after word got out they were looking at other opportunities.
Man, that just reminds me how much I don't miss corporate life...

If they're all about that life, they're going to have trouble in today's environment. As they're about to find out with you.

If they agree to these changes to their offer, I will be moving to Iowa soon.
Right on. IIRC that was one of my recommendations. Best of luck dude. I hope it works out well for you.
