Is this a complete no-brainer?

Warwick Streamer passive rockbass fretless for $550

vs

Custom Carvin B50F active with J99a pickups for $880

Point of interest: a few years ago I ordered a B50F and the action was awful. Terrible string buzz on the low register of the 5th string. Was it a dud or is Carvin not good at 5 string fretless basses?
