The seat angle issue is important, but only once you know what seat angle is ideal for you.
It is impossible for anyone to really recommend the better bike for you, given how little we know about the bike, and know about you. What may be a benefit about the larger bike is it likely has a longer head tube, which will allow for a less aggressive drop between saddle and handle bar. Depending on what kind of cycling you are going to do, that may or may not be a good thing. Women often like a slightly less aggressive position as far as that dimension goes.
Forums are a terrible place, imo, to get this kind of advice. Too little info, too much subjectivity. Get fit locally--it is worth the expense if you are investing in a nice bike--and go from there.
