Most companies will not alter their agreement, and you're immediately suspect if you request modifications. I recently saw one Fortune 500 withdraw an offer (decommitted) because the candidate pushed so hard for an amendement. Good luck.
As an alternative to salary surveys that catagorize technical groups using a large brush, try www.engineersalary.com... which breaks tech salaries down specifically by title, experience and location. I just used it successfully for a review, and my employer agreed with the results. It is very specific to sofware, computer and electrical engineering, and it's free.
