Business class flights from London the US are very expensive right now.  Option 1 is normally 2x the price but we were able to secure special pricing.  However, it is still very expensive, leaves early and has a tight connection in Chicago with a terminal change (T5 to T1).  The Delta option is at a good time with a comfortable connection and a lot cheaper.  The seats are very similar to first class domestic flights.
