The Club CHS looks to be about 20% larger (albeit in a footprint that ain't great) and there are a good number of complaints about wait times there. CHS has about 70% less traffic than MDW, so this seems like it will be perennially crowded, even assuming the amount of Priority Passes per capita flying out of MDW is lower.
Some of the bigger The Club lounges (e.g. ATL) also serve as contract lounges for premium/status pax on overseas carriers, whereas I assume that won't be happening at MDW. So that will help with the space a little bit.
