Hi,
Honestly, I don't have my dog yet. 3 more weeks. But... I have done a lot of research, months of it, before deciding to get a yorkie.
This was what I concluded: The small ones are cute, but they are extremely delicate. They often have more health problems because of their small size, which means more vet bills. When I talked to the breeder I was getting my dog from, I made sure she knew that I wanted the dog to be in the weight range standards which is 4-7 lbs. I am hoping for around 6 lb. like your dog. It sounds perfect to me. I wouldn't take the tiny one for the reasons I mentioned, and also because you don't know all the training and history. I admire people who like to take in dogs or rescue dogs, but you don't know what habits you are getting. My preference was to train from puppy on up. I'd pass on the 3 pounder, but that is me.
Best wishes to you on your decision.
