I have never been in a moshpit! (Though I have SEEN them, and I have no idea why anyone would...DO THAT to themselves.)
CHAs vary. There aren't always free drinks but there is usually a lot more space. Having guaranteed access to the VIP balcony at Fabric is a huge reason I tolerate the place.
(I guess CHAs aren't necessarily the same as VIP areas though!)
There is absolutely no way in which I could be considered to have "not sold out" so I can't, in conscience, choose the moshpit (of which I was not a great fan at my most punk i.e. 15.)
Obviously I have nothing against The Man but I consider his opinions on music generally suspect and if I was in the CHA I would worry he might tell me some of them.
That's an excellent point; after the exchange of opinions on music, he'd actually want you to develop a metric with which to measure the level of mosh ("engagement").

Moshpit: physical discomfort vs closeness to action
CHA: free drinks vs far away, in company of The Man.
