If it were me, I'd do the Serotta not the Bianchi, based on Serotta (nova?) is a better

Italian-made Bianchis of that vintage all had Italian BBs; Japanese-made had English. Just measure the width of the shell itself (70mm = Italian; 68mm = English).
I admit to being biased
, but in what way do you consider the Serotta superior to the Bianchi?
