I think my hesitancy was mainly due to my own inexperience. I have now had three people give me the same advice you just gave, which is how I was finally willing to move forward with the current offer.

Then if the second one really does come through next month or in 3 months (I've seen employers take even 6 months to complete the interview process.) you could re-evaluate the situation. Any employer would understand if the second offer was better. I changed jobs after 4 months when a previous interviewer offered me a better situation. I left my job with mutual good feelings since I had responded quickly and saw them through their pressing situation.
