Low vs High Mileage 2016 Model S P100D's

So I'm sure this has been talked about in some capacity but I'm trying to make a switch to my first EV ever. I'm looking at two P100d's Same Spec/same options as my dream spec both are 2016s heated and cooled seats/sunroof NO FREE SUPERCHARGING since both are from dealers.
Car 1. $53.5k 26k Miles No FSD, No mcu2 upgrade
Car 2. $49.9k 72k Miles No FSD No Premium sound(which sucks because the premium to me is really good), I believe it has the mcu2 It's the weekend so I couldn't get to this dealer in time to confirm but when they took a picture of the backup cam there were two displays showing the side cam view Car 1 did not. I test drove a 2019 Performance but that deal fell through, but it had that same feature with obviously the updated software/tech.

Lets assume Car 2 has the mcu2 which I know is definitely needed because that old tech is a BIT laggy. Which car might be the better buy?

Both cars are too far to test but I can get a PPI for both.

Is it really worth it to save 3.5k?
Hey have you made a decision yet? I ask because there's a youtube channel LegitStreetCars and the host is thinking about selling his super nice P100D with a gorgeous blue paint. It's got FSD and MCU2 upgrade, and open pano roof. Check out his latest video of the CTS-V he just bought. He thinking of going back to ICE and replacing the P100D with the old caddy. You'll see the Tesla towards the very end of the video.

I did bro I ended up with a 2018 P100D. Not necessarily the spec i wanted for colors but beggars cant be choosers... Needed to trade in a vehicle.

Yeah these things aren't going for super cheap. The Free supercharging is a game changer. This one I'm picking up 2018 MCU2/FSD/Premium Sound Heated and cooled seats. Everything i wanted but no free supercharging :(. How much money is it to really get a full charge on lets say 250 miles?
Your prices will vary depending on where you charge. I have a FUSC 2016 90D; I had a 2018 100D no free charging. I was curious what I had saved on the 90D vs 100D. I've driven OH-FL at least 7 times with the 90D and twice with the 100D. The round trip cost was about $210 for 2300 miles:
about $0.09/mile
