This job just happened to be through a recruiter too, who would obviously be out her commission if I don’t take the role, though I expect she would still get a commission if she brings them someone else for the role.
Personally, I just find this decision tough. I haven’t physically been inside either place where I have an offer.
How do I decide on what certainly is a life changing decision based on incomplete information? In my mind, I wanted this second position if I had a choice, before I got either offer. However, I can’t turn down the first offer, not knowing if a second offer is going to come at all, but now it has.

My experience is that honesty is always the best policy. Just last year I gave 2 weeks notice to go to a better job. I told them straight up it's a better position with more money and there isn't an equivalent position here for me and it's all good, it's not you, it's me.
They were livid and being petty and gave me the option of hopping on a shovel, or leaving. I just left and assumed the bridge was burned but they just called me asking if I was interested in coming back for a better position. I'm not, but at least I know I left with class and integrity, even if it wasn't reciprocated.
