Buy the Bianchi with a triple. I'd have a complete stable

If you can do that it might be the best of both worlds. But check into the BB situation. Today's compact cranks may need a different bottom bracket and your Vitus may want French(?) threading? And you'd need a new front der.
I bet that Vitus is comfy on chip seal.
