There was a thought from somewhere that once you hand in your notice, you are clean-slated with the company. It is best to tell them you are flatter with the counteroffer, but you already said yes to the other side, and leave gracefully. The biggest drawback of taking the current company counteroffer is that they already planned your exit strategy and just delaying you from leaving until they get a fill. You'll be a danger noodle on both sides (lost new opportunity and waiting to be axed) if you do that.
