reverent Novus Ordo masses that celebrate in Latin, Ad Orientem, using the rail for communion, then at least in my view point, there is far less, if any justification to go to a SSPX chapel.

You put a lot of qualifiers in there--why not a reverent English celebration, with reverent bowing/genuflecting before standing for Communion, with orientem or without?

You give the SSPX-adherents far too many excuses for their underlying desire to defy Rome and their Bishops.

Look, I will be the last one who will excuse Bp. Williamsons brat like behavior, I think that the SSPX rejection of the offer Rome gave them in 2001 was no less a crime against the restoration movment, but that said, there are some dioceses where the SSPX is the only reverent option some Catholics have for a valid mass. Again Bishops sadly do not obey Rome by having a wide and generous indult for the TLM. I am and so are you lucky that we do not have to make the decsion to go beyond the diocean structure, many are not that lucky.
