Plus AMEX has a leg up in terms of footprint, but Airport Dimensions has 28 lounges, some with multiple locations in the same airport (i.e. DFW, MCO, etc) so we'll have to see if some turn into Sapphire lounges.

Since this will be branded as a Chase Sapphire lounge, could it be possible that the food and lounge itself will be at Centurion Lounge level? I would imagine that it'll only allow Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders to access for free? I hope this will be a first-tier lounge capable of competing with the best AMEX Centurion Lounge anywhere in the world.
