For all who kindly responded to my call,
Thank you for your feedback. I will try to get to the airport bit early so that I could do the lounge hop from the CL to the PL.
It sounds like there is no clear winner by a large margin here. But it's sad that UA doesn't offer decent food in the Polaris cabin. That's what I read in the other thread about the food service in the cabin.
