The catch is paying for a second gearbox set up and rush shipping, as well as waiting for delivery.
If you have enough room for Option#1 I don't see how you don't have the room for a FP Gearbox and Motor. Please provide a picture of your assembly so we can understand the situation and provide a better answer.
