Permanent or temporary? / Stay or go?

I have a permanent job which is making me absolutely miserable. I don't get on with my new boss so things have got worse recently. Because it's in a small company, there's no chance of promotion within the specific department I want to work in. And bizarrly, the longer I stay where I am, the less chance I have of being able to move on.
At most of the interviews I've been to, I've been told that I'm over-qualified for the position, but I don't have the experience for the next position. Nor will I get that experience if I stick with the job I've got.
I've been offered a temp position with another firm. The reason it's temporary is that they're only allowed a certain number of permanent people on the pay roll.
Now, if I take this position, I give up paid sick days, paid holidays etc. But I gain a better job, and better chances of finding an even better job.
However, is it worth the risk?
The money btw is pretty much the same.
Opinions please.
Thanks.
