I don't see how an Fsus2 would be any easier to play down at the nut. Is it the full barr chord that is giving you trouble. You could just leave out the 6th string which means the index finger is just barring the top 2 strings. The barre comes in handy when your finger picking and want to go to a 7th or b3 though.
A sus2 has a whole different feel than a major chord. It is neither major nor minor because it has no 3rd. Your tune will sound quite different. Play an F chord, then play it again with the 3 string open which is a sus2. That is quite a different sound.
