Picking insurance from 2 options for my first rental property

I received 2 quotes for a 1929 built SFR in Indianapolis IN. It is a 1100 sq ft 3 bed 1.5 bath with detached garage, backyard, and an unfinished basement.
The difference in the premium for both options is significant, so I am seeking opinion on if it is work going with the higher cost option.

Travelers: $820/year

  • 100% Dwelling Replacement: $144k
  • Detached structures (Garage): $14k
  • Deductible: $1,000
  • Property (appliances): $2,000
  • Liability: $500k
  • Loss of Rents: $15,000
  • $5,000 water back-up (sump pump failure for basement)

Auto-Owners: $1400/year

  • 100% Dwelling Replacement: $163k
