A Riv and an L'Avecaise will be significantly contrasting frames. L'Avecaise having the flexible tubing that can give such a nice feel. The trail numbers also contrast massively.
If you want an American handcrafted, low trail, randonneur style bicycle, the Jeff Lyon option clearly is most suitable. Assuming you are dead set on a purchase at this time and you don't already own something that fits the brief, I can't see any reason not to seize the opportunity. As long as you are buying based on enjoying it and not based on buying simply because it's a great deal, that is. Disclosure: I am often wrong.
