I have just moved into a new house, and there are 2 bedrooms. I intend to use one of them for mixing.

There will be some acoustic treatment, but not loads. I have 6 fairly large full-frequency mineral wool absorbers, at the moment. I will get some more (absorbers or diffusers), but not an awful lot.

Here are the measurements:
room1:
3.6m high
4m deep
3.8m wide

room2:
2.45m high
3.8m deep
3.4m wide

both rooms have plastered walls, and carpeted floors. Room1 is a bit more symetrical in terms of window placement, and it's further from the main road. At the moment, however, it has a very long reverb time, and very noticable flutter echoes.

Based on room modes and such, which room will be preferable after some moderate treatment?

jmo...room 1, higher ceilings, and more space (it appears) just tame the verb and flutters.
 
yea.. but room 1 is pretty much a cube. isn't that a bad thing?
 
A real cube is a bad thing. That one is far enough away that it can be dealt with. The additional space is definitely a bonus. The other thing that turns me off to room 2 is the low ceiling.
