4.25 with the credit is decent today. Rates ticked up yesterday.
I would not trade a slighly lower rate for no credit.

The lower rate is probably 4.125% and the payment is only $9.63 per month lower, take the 4.25% and the 2 point credit. As far as the APR is concerned, you really do not need to focus on that. The APR will be about 5% and nothing you can do about that unless you have more than 3.5% to put down.

As a former mortgage banker and a real estate agent I can tell you if you need the $2,700 for closing then that is your answer.  If you have the $2,700 then go with the 4.19.  Ask for the closing costs on each loan.  Have the lender explain the APR?  Annual Percentage Rate.  Closing costs are considered part of the APR.
