I'm on the sidelines since I'm retired, but let me offer you this thought.
Over the years, flying takes a lot out you. It's worse for some than others, but I think it effects everyone to some degree.
Back side of the clock flying takes even more out of you and I think you need to consider what it would be like if you are say 50+ and flying at 0200. Trust me, it will be harder on you then than it will be today.
I started flying international (back side of the clock) in my late 40s, and I can tell you I really felt the difference.
I know what I would do, but it's just my own opinion.
Good luck no what choice you select.
