re: VM license
First I would like you to consult local VMware partner, (like us).
Second, I personally think that vSphere Essential + is enough.
Thirth, you physical server in option 2 has 2 CPU. But quotation only quote 1. Please let your vendor explain!
The easy way to do is to purchase Server with VMware license from same vendor.
e.g. purchase from Dell with vSphere essential plus, do it online .
e.g. purchase HP, let them quote with premium support.
For pricing,don't ask me! 
I am system consultant only. you need get quote from sales!
