Regarding the other issue of when I take my SS, seems like I can
model that just by plugging various start dates and amounts into
FIRECalc, and see which gives the most optimistic result.
That's true. The two other considerations are:

1. If you have any concerns that SS benefits might be reduced, taxed differently, or means tested, you might want to take the money earlier.

2. You might die before the breakeven point.
