The SAN SC is small but pretty nice and IME relatively quiet and peaceful. Is it open late enough for your redeye departures?
Does the $500 include any additional first year fee? Do you need a membership or have you considered alternative ways to access SCs: single admissions at $25 with a DL AmEx, day passes at $50 but usually discounted for less, AmEx cards that give access when flying DL, etc.?
