Can folks who have had experience with balance bikes help me decide?

I bought a wooden Skuut balance bike at the B&N sale on Friday - paid $53.25 shipped. It hasn't shipped yet and can still be cancelled (or returned at the store if needed).

Today Amazon.com has the red Strider pre-bike at $69.99 shipped.

Money aside, which do I get? I'm buying one of these for my DD2 who will be 20 months old at Christmas, 2 next May. What's the better bike for learning on, reliability, safety, etc etc? Help me decide! Thanks!

My son has been riding his strider since he was 18 months old. He's now almost 3 1/2 and has no desire to get a real bike with pedals.
