The thing that should be noted on these is the style of the decals, as I have not found a Bianchi with this style of decal before 1989.
The Santé has the pre-1988 Columbus SL decal,so it's probably a 1987 model, though could be a 1988 depending on Bianchi's supply of old stock SL and how diligent they were in rotating the tubing decal stock.
The other bicycle may be a Super Leggera. At least that's what they called the SLX and Chorus model in the USA. It has the 1988+ version of the SLX decal and Campgnolo introduced Chorus for the 1988 model year.. This version of Chorus (with the adjustable angle parallelogram) was only produced though 1990 so, providing it is OEM, the bicycle is 1988-1990.
