You can't build both. It is one or the other. As Wado MP73 pointed out from the FEIS in a previous post:

Physical improvements at the Chambers Street Station around and beneath Foley Square could impact the sensitive, subterranean portions of this historic station. Furthermore, this construction zone would be within the boundaries of the African Burial Ground and The Commons Historic District, and could permanently impact potential below-grade resources in this area. There is a significant risk that the construction of the subway would require complete cessation if intact skeletal remains were uncovered.

That makes the Nassau St a crap shot.

In addition, the Nassau St. alignment is problematic because it restricts capacity. Even if the M is merged with the V, the J plus the T could exceed 30tph. Throw in a SAS/QB route and it could be over 40tph.
