Centurion was an American company so perhaps not that ridiculous. I think the late 80s saw some of the finest bicycles produced in Japan, just before it all went aluminum. By 89, Shimano had conquered Sugino with SIS and Hyperglide, and even the components on low-rent entry levels were far superior to mid>uppers from the 70s. Good deals anyway. So, unless that Centurion is collectible, I'd go with the 89 Fuji, especially if its full cromo. That said, I'd take a Lemans RS from 87 over a comparable Fuji, because Cents have more character and less of that Fuji branding silliness. Here's an RS I just got rid of due to size issue.
