Given your example.....or even in that ball park, I'd take the newer model with more miles every time. It is often worse overall for it to be sitting idle than to be used regularly.
Now, if the newer one had over 30,000 miles, I might have to think about it a little longer.
Also, I think one of those sellers has an unrealistic price on their bike; probably the older one with low miles.
