For 32 million pounds they could've purchased Jackson Martinez. They wouldn't have to guess if he's going to be good or not.

Yes they would, even more so. Benteke is a proven premier league goalscorer, the other isn't. Besides that, Benteke is 4 years younger which is another big plus in his favour.

Jackson Martinez is a proven Champions League and Portuguese League goal scorer, even more credited than Benteke.

Playing in EPL doesn't mean jack. How many EPL stars got out of EPL and set the world on fire?

Age doesn't mean anything when you don't have skills. Young age is just a promise not a certainty, Jackson is a certainty.
