I still think access to the LIRR tracks beneath the existing F train is the best shot at greater mass transit access.

I disagree on three points.

The first is that this is a fight that can not be won on the merits of a cost/benefit analysis.

The second is that the only chance to win it is politically, and LIRR riders collectively have far more political pull than Roosevelt Island residents.

The final reason why I disagree with you is that part of the SAS will include a connection to the 63rd St tunnel. I believe that is far more likely that Roosevelt Island riders will get F and SAS service than an LURR station. Yes, you'll have to wait many years for this, but that's life.
