Rule of thumb is that the first offer will be the best...
Some things to think about.

Bingo! A good friend is a store manager for a national paint company and this has happened to a few people in his company. The decided not to take the severance package and were terminated within 2 months due to job performance or some rarely enforced policy.
If you think you can secure a new job within a few months, I'd take the severance and try my best to get a new job quickly in order to double dip. A 23-week package is a pretty good offer.
