I agree with Torsten - Atlanta is much more inconvenient than Chicago,
even from the Westcoast. Based on my experience last time, it is more
expensive to fly there and red eye/evening combinations (which work
nicely between SFO and ORD) are much harder to accomplish (in
particular when one tries to stay under $750 NSF funding).

You can add us to this list for west coast as well :)

I would propose to go back to the original scheme of alternating between
Chicago and CA. This seemed to have worked well in the past.
