Your circumstances have changed since you accepted the first job offer.
If it's an advancement for your personally, financially, professionally ... then it's time for you to move on.
Even if Co A were to match Co B's offer, it sounds like you'd prefer Co B opportunities. So be it; would you stay at Co A even if they exceeded Co B's offer?
As an employer, I've had this type of situation presented to me by a new hire shortly after they'd come on board ... a matter of timing in response to their multiple interviews. Such is life, I always had other qualified applicants to offer a job. IF a short-termer came back to me and I needed their services, then there was always room for discussion.
Always makes me laugh when companies get upset about candidates taking another offer shortly after accepting. I guess they think they are the only ones allowed to do what is in their best interest. Company A would lay you off on day 5 of your new job and not blink an eye if it was in the company's best interest.
Do what you want to do because no company cares about you. Those days are long gone.
Your best bet would be to accept the offer of Company B and as soon as you know the offer is firm give notice to Company A. Your exit may be soon enough that they can go back to the well your resume was screened from and contact the runners-up. That is much better than resigning from Company A 6 months after starting when your applicant pool is stale.
Always do what's best for you. Always! You concern is misplaced loyalty. Either of these companies would throw you under the bus if it was in their best interest to do so.

that is the saddest part of working. They will fire you in a heartbeat to save a nickel if somebody can do it cheaper. You can be their for 10 years and get fired without a blink of a eye.. loyalty is a 2 way street. Ask Brads Wife if you need a example.
No brainer. Take the new offer and get on with it. I would however leave company A on the best terms possible if you can.
