Double Bass Second hand Harley Benton or new models

Dear low end community,
I am considering going from electric bass to EUB, but I don't have a big budget for now. I play in a big band and some theater plays, no big stages with feedback issues.
I saw a second hand Harley Benton for 370$ but it's a discontinued model, called eub 500 sb (from what I found in the net it is a Stagg, clone of a...)
This one has a resonance cavity compared to the new Harley Benton DB-02, which has may have upgraded electronic as it released 15 years later and is new for 670$ but it's a plank.
Which would you pick and why???
Thanks for your help
