Both of the variations you mention are playable (i.e either Bc5 or Bb4+), and the Budapest defense is not 'refuted'.
What is inferior about the Budapest defense is that Black runs around with the Knight and sometimes lacks enough central influence (think *pawn center*), but these faults are small enough for the opening to be entirely playable at the amateur level (and above too).
There was even a claim by former cc-WC Berliner that this variation refutes the Budapest (quite possibly his variations are even quite strong on this occasion).
