AAoA: straight math or more nuanced?

is there an aspect of FICO score that credit limit weighs the age of accounts?

 

For example,  all else being equal, I would expect:

 

It's better to have a 10 year account with $20k limit and a 2 year acount with $5l limit than:

10 year account with $5k limit and a 2 year account and a 2 year account with $20k limit

 

Or does it not matter whatsoever in scoring?

 

 

Similarly I am cusious if these old account are weighted less somehow if we don't use them actively, or the volume of purchases?

 

 

Thanks
