Personally I take any sleep I can get, but there may be something to the 1.5 hour thing.
We used this book with our first who slept so little it was driving us nuts. Apparently babies have a 90 minute cycle so two full cycles is 1.5 hours. I don't know if that carries over to adulthood or not.

Sounds like a very reasonable schedule given his age. I would highly recommend reading "the 90 min baby sleep program" (

The basic idea is that baby's natural wake and sleep cycles work in 90 min increments. So if he wakes up at 7 he could either be put down at 8:30 or 10am (for example).
Since naps seem to be in order, CIO seems more reasonable. I would recommend reading that book first (probably available at your local library). It will help you get the timing right which will minimize crying.
My daughter was very hard to put to bed at this age, it lasted about a month and then we did CIO which was very successful.
It is very frustrating whenever you have issues with sleep. Good luck to you!
