You need to make up your mind. If you want to do detail work, you will need the scroll saw. If you don't, you can probably do what you want with the band saw.
You need to research the blades and see what kind of radius you can cut with the blades available. Using a band saw for cutting curves with small radii usually requires a lot of relief cuts. You also cannot cut the inside of a closed area with a bandsaw.
Bandsaws are extremely versatile though and very usefur for things other than jsut cutting curves.
