First offer was 135k base + 150k stock over 4 years. I said no, the revised offer
150k base + 170k stock over 4 . Recruiter told me 170 stock is Max for this position
I am currently SDE 2 with 7 yoe
Recruiter is pushing me hard to sign but I am still not happy with TC
Any advice ?

I have don't have yet but I have FB, Uber and Dropbox interview in pipeline
Just keep interviewing.
The stock performance is likely to be much different than MS. DS could double much more easily than MS, similarly it could also drop by 75% much more easily if we do a poor job. And it's still small enough that each person's contribution can help.
MS used to have the target stock award amount for each level up to 67 on hrweb. It got harder to find over the years, but was still available when I last looked before I moved. If you're close to promotion then that might help with a decision to stay?
Personally I'm glad I moved, better work life balance, better TC than MS was, better professional impact. TC is only part of the equation, and if you're miserable at a job it's much harder to excel and get future promotions.
Reading all the comps here I feeling like TC should have been higher than 200k also bit disappointed that they are not giving joining bonus
I am thinking of pushing recruiter to get the TC to 210 but looking at Glassdoor salaries for this position it seems like a stretch
