agreed that 9 leads more to L gates as opposed to K/H gates. 9 is near NK (Spirit) / Alaska and the old VX. 9 has a dedicated Priority lane. On Sunday, security sections 7/7A/8 were all crowded but had Low lines for Pre - I saw nothing for Priority, and I previously had an unpleasant experience in 8 in early July. So we headed to 9, and were able to enter the Priority lane by showing our AA bps, phew! Hopefully we can do this always because that's how I prefer my priority BP experience when possible. I'm still not pre or GE.
