The lower priced tract doesn't sound like too bad of a price if you can get $250 rent for it. Edit: I looked over the pictures again. It now looks like a high enough price :)
FWIW. the highest NASS county average corn yield there in the last ten years is 163. I know those soil types, I farm them too, and I farm in the same weather patterns. For a farm in that area with those soil types to really beat averages, Edina and Haig soils really should have tile at 30 foot or in some cases even less spacing.
The auction brochure says "natural drainage, but with some tile terraces." Most likely, that means terraces built to NRCS specs- which also means that you're going to lose half an acre of crop around each of those tile intakes when a 5" rain happens.
