New F vs. Old F on NH is a red herring - I just don't think there is a meaningful difference in anything between the old and new except for screen size.
New F suite on OZ is of course miles ahead of their old F offering, but the old F is still decent in the overall context of the soft product and service.
Still, between your choices, I would personally go for Option 2 unless ORD is going to be a big problem.
