Alexa Mini or FX9 for night interiors on a tight budget?

Shooting a drama in Stockholm, almost all at night in old apartments. Camera budget is limited. Anyone pushed the FX9 in low light? How does skin hold up at 12800?

Shot on the FX9 in similar conditions. Skin holds up to 12800, past that I would rather add practicals in frame.

Plus one for the FX9, but if you can, rent an Alexa for the key days. The difference in the midtones is visible.
