Neither one is worth chasing, and even having TSA pre at EWR can sometimes mean jack squat. Doesn't work if the lane isn't open, which I've found multiple times.
I'd also say don't bother with the "Art & Lounge" pay lounge, it's only really useful if you have a long time to kill and no status of any kind.
