I'd be worried that if job 2 doesn't turn out to be as good as you expected, or you got laid off from that company later, it would really put you in a bad spot because you couldn't go back to job 1. If job 1 looked decent, no bad surprises, I'd probably stick with it. If job 1 goes away for any reason, or at any time you are really certain you want job 2, you can go there.

If you really think right now that you are certain, go ahead to job 2. I think you can turn it into a positive in a future interview. You made a decision, then a factor changed and you re-evaluated carefully and decided it would be best to make a new decision, so you did. You didn't feel like you had to stick with an old decision with new information available to you.
