Vintera 70s Jazz vs Geddy Lee

I need help deciding!
Currently, I really love playing Rush Songs and similar stuff. So much so that I decided that I want to get a Jazz bass, as the thinner neck appeals to me (I am used to P basses and want to try something slightly different).
I really dig the look of the Inca Silver Fender Vintera 70s Jazz bass, and also it seems solid in reviews and videos.
I also like the Geddy Lee Bass, and I think it is probably as awesome. Currently, someone in my area sells a MIM GL bass used about 1 year old in great condition, for 800€ instead of the new price of 1135 - that is one hell of a deal, but aesthetically, I really like the Vintera way more.

Does someone have experience with both?
I think they should be quite similar sound/feel wise, as they are both based on 70s jazz basses and both are MIM.

I might feel I am missing out on a deal if I don't go for the Geddy, but then again, like i said, the IS one is so pretty ;)
