      The comments about multiple interviews are valid, it does look like you're essentially their hot standby option based on what you said in the first post.

      3 interviews and no offer would make me think it was stone dead. To be honest 2 interviews without an offer would make me think it was in the mortuary fridge already.

      Edit...

      Sensible decision in my opinion.

        It sounded like you really wanted contract 1 but have taken contract 2, safer bet anyway.

        I would have taken contract 2.

          That's what I'd have done.

          But be warned - occasionally a bird in the hand will crap all over you.

            I've found that a hand in the bush is better than a bird in the hand.

              Okay, contract reviewed and to be returned on Monday. Just need to sort out indemnity insurance as agency requirement and then ready to start next Wed.

              3 1/2 months benched and looking forward to the role.

              Thanks for everyone's comments.

                EDIT: Actually, ladies present. So I decided to clean up (er, remove), my reply.
