Based on the category and comparable price to FS, down the block, as an elite, I would skip the AC in Chicago.

Unless it's a weekend & you're talking the Marriott Mag Mile, which has its exec lounge closed & no breakfast offering - just 1,000 points. Then it could be a toss-up (and my guess is the AC rooms are nicer than the old, tired FS ones). If you're talking another FS, then perhaps. And if someone is not a breakfast person, then no free brekkie might not matter as much to them.
Still looking forward to the first trip report.
Cheers.
