Of course you're tempted by the low-time rag-wing. So would I be. Consider yourself fortunate to have two good candidates.
However, the low-timer is of course a concern as regards the state of the innards of the engine. To determine that, you need to have somebody look in there with a borescope to see what he can see. And an oil analysis after a few hours of running. Since the engine is worth about 3/4 of the cost of the plane, it is really the major (no pun intended) issue. As regards things like panel and ancillaries, you have to decide which suits your needs the best. Thing is, the one that's flying a lot, you know how it's been as regards maintenance costs right along.
