Society as a whole would be a lot better off if we did the latter.

This is why I've been advocating for an 8 lane new crossing. You're not adding any additional SOV capacity in the peak crossing direction (3 lanes), but adding a Bus/HOV only lane that could expand to 2 lanes dependant on future demand.
