I'm new here but I do have some experience. So here's my opinions for whatever they are worth to you.

I favor recurves simply because they're usually shorter and faster. I like the simple ones, one piece, flat, relatively wide limbs, make S curves above and below the riser, short riser, doesn't have to be finished like your cherrywood office furniture if you know what I mean?

I think the recurve you mention would be as fast as the longbow but I think I would like that the longbow is a little shorter. Actually, they're both kind of long but I suppose if you like long, that's okay. I don't think there's that much difference in the performance between these two bows. They will probably feel a little different but I can't see that the difference would be that significant.

I think the prices are a little steep though, especially for used bows. Maybe you can bargain a little better price if you choose one or the other or maybe you can find another one some place. If you're a lefthander, I think you should actually be able to find a used bow for less because there isn't that big a market for lefthand bows.
