I wonder if it's that tricky if one really thinks about it. Most people have immediate needs...so that would warrant taking the money & run. Perhaps one could invest that money & have it to continue to give one a residual income.
On the other hand, learning under one or both of those guys as an apprentice..ideally...would probably be the long-term better option. But that's assuming that those guys actually train u or let u know the little secrets or decisions that might have helped them. Also everyone's destiny isn't the same. Their "financial success" may not necessarily be your pathway.
