The Bianchi's not a bad bike. Shimano 600 is Ultegra level, so that was a pretty good bike in the day.

As everyon else has said, the modern bike is still going to be better.

Also how the hell does the shop have a number of 20+ year old NOS bikes. I'd worry about the fact they've sit unused for that time.

I'd buy the new bike, or offer the LBS $500-600 on the Bianchi.
