Old or new technology

I'm looking to get back into road biking and I'm down to 2 choices. A bike shop here has a number of vintage but brand new never been ridden Bianchis in that cool celesti green. The one I'm interested in is a late 1980's, early 90's model called Vittoria. It has a Tange steel frame and anodized clincher rims. The components are all Shimano 600. Down tube friction shifters, (No problem I'm used to these.) 14 speed. Asking price is $1200.00. My other choice is a 2012 Jamis steel Satellite Comp with the 9 speed cassette and modern shifters. Price $1000.00
The Bianchi fits well or they could order the Jamis in my size. I'm staying up at night trying to decide.
