Drifting slightly OT but another argument in favour of the NH lounge in Satellite 5 is that there's now a sushi chef in that lounge from 1530-1630 (i.e. before the UA departures and most of the NH afternoon bank) who will make you real sushi, not the makizushi that they serve at the buffet: see here for example
