Yeah, I consdiered this but the earliest flight in leaves at 6 am and the next flight leaves at 7:45 am. This means take flight one and stand by for ealier connection or sleep later take flight two and make only wait an hour at ORD for the next scheduled flight. In matters like this I side with extra sleep, however a def. seat on the earlier flight might sway me.
