Happy to help. Yes, I see the alternative path. Still, given that I may want to short check and recheck next time I fly this way, it's nice to have the alternatives documented. Regardless, going up and down shouldn't take too much longer than staying on the lower level.
The main points for people who've never been this way is to allow for the potential delay at immigration, and the potential long walk to the lounges and/or Int'l gates.
