ubiquitin:
“or at an earlier minyan”
This was the earlier minyan, Im not sure why you thought that would be better.
I find that, generally, the earlier the minyan, the less people will be there. Therefore, there will be less (or even no) shoving.

Because it is a bigger inyan to daven in a larger minyan.
That’s nice, you made a little poem there. I still pick more comfort and less people. In addition, I get home earlier, which means I’m around to help the wife more, which increases shalom bayit.
