F, you give no info on the piano in question. How old is it? Was it rebuilt, and what was done to it?  If it was rebuilt, does it have a new soundboard, bridge caps,pinblock? Was the action rebuilt ? :)
The only way to be sure if the piano is worth your time is to pay to have a Tech check it out for you.

..between the two, I'll go for whichever piano is better conditioned.
