Like this?
At least it has near vertical cabin sides!
Wooden coamings. Are the coachroof and decks wood ?
Nice looking hull, but traditional low freeboard (=good) means less volume inside (=not so good).
Long keel?
Mainsheet in middle of cockpit?
This one looks very tidy.
A bit contrary? (All the other boats are facing the opposite direction! ? )

I'm not surprised you're dithering. That's a big difference in price.
The Polish flag is neat, but you might be mistaken either for being a 'pilot on board' but having a lie down or, on account of the white in it, for an enemy ship!
Polish National Flag
International Code Flag 'H' - "I have a pilot on board."
The Spanish flag is perhaps unusual as having started out as a naval ensign, and only much later become the national flag.
'When Charles III became King of Spain, he observed that most of the countries in Europe used flags which were predominantly white and, since they were frequently at war with each other, lamentable confusions occurred at sea, it being difficult to determine if a sighted ship were enemy until practically the last moment. For this reason, he ordered to his Minister of the Navy to present several models of flags to him, having to be visible from great distances. The Minister selected twelve sketches which were shown to the king. The flag that was chosen as war ensign is the direct ancestor of the current flag. It was a triband red-yellow-red, of which the yellow band was twice the width of the red bands, a unique feature that distinguished the Spanish tribanded flag from other tribanded European flags.'

Of course, the most important consideration is how well it complements the colours of the boat and the crew's uniforms. ?
